Supporting someone through depression is hard. These tips can make the conversation easier.
Learn about depression as a medical condition, not a character flaw. Understanding the science of mood disorders helps reduce stigma and opens the door to compassion.
Avoid saying “just cheer up” or “think positive.” Instead, listen without judgment. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply be there.
Gently suggest treatment options. Offer to help with the first call or drive them to an appointment. Removing logistical barriers can make a big difference.
Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Curriculum covers communication, support strategies, and more.
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Seek your own therapy, join a support group, and prioritize your mental health too.
If your loved one talks about feeling hopeless, expresses thoughts of self-harm, or withdraws completely, take it seriously and encourage immediate professional help.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. Call (857) 312-1697
It’s painful when someone you love won’t accept help. Here are steps that can make a difference.
Depression is a real medical condition, not laziness or weakness. Acknowledging their struggle without judgment creates space for them to open up.
Express concern without judgment. “I’ve noticed you seem really down lately and I’m worried” instead of “You need to snap out of it.”
Help with the logistics that feel overwhelming during depression — making the call, scheduling the appointment, or providing transportation.
Recovery from depression is not linear. Continue expressing care and concern. Sometimes people need to hear it multiple times before they’re ready.
If there’s immediate danger — talk of suicide, self-harm, or complete inability to care for themselves — call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911.
Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.
