How can I help a love person that is under depression?please help me

Question

This person is under hard depression and doesn't want to receive any help of anybody, she's tried to punished by herself, I tell that she needs a professional help,and she made me proms her that I didn't say anything about it? I'm really afraid for her life.

Answer 1

Please know that people under depression do not want to admit they need help, it is how the condition works. Do not be forceful with anything, be there for the person is the best thing you can do. You will be pushed away but kindly go back

Answer 2

Make her promise to contact you when she feels really bad, or use one of the hotlines or chatsites. If you mean by: "she's tried to punished by herself" self harm, this is addressed in section 16, at ezy build, below. Depression is addressed in section 2 of my website, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and it is best to first view page R, then female depression, teen depression?, page V, and the rest. Teen resources are on page K, in section 13. Print, refer, or show her.

Keep a close watch on how she is handling this, and if she gets worse, you will have no other choice but to tell a responsible adult.

Answer 3

If you really care for this person and are truly concerned about her welfare, you may have to take drastic measures to get her help.  If this means going against your promise, I'm sorry, but that's what you have to do.  Go to her family.  If she's in a really bad state then you may have to call 911.  You don't want someone you care about to hurt herself, do you?  It may cost you the relationship.  One other thing to keep in mind is your own mental health.  If it gets to be too much for you trying to care for a person who doesn't want your help, you may have to let her go.  A mentally ill person can damage your own mental health.  Try to help her; but, take care of yourself as well.

Answer 4

tell her family so they can get her some help before its too late.  

Answer 5

You do need to tell the closest family member. Good luck to both of you.

Answer 6

you really cant, nor can therapists, hotlines dont work, nothing really works. it just delays there depression. how do i know?well i suffered the same fate once... you shuld try to get him/her intoalot of scocial activitys, have them meet new freinds, boost there confidence, and moral. thats what worked for me!
