Depressed Friend
My boyfriend is depressed and he’s been depressed for about 5 years now. He says that he is happy when he is with me or his friends, but is sad when he is alone. I told him to go to a psychiatrist in order to seek help but his mother wouldn’t let him because she thinks that depression is normal. Therefore, my boyfriend always asks me for advise on what and what not to do in order for him to get better. He says that he doesn’t want to be paranoid and sad anymore but he doesn’t know how to do it.

I am able to understand your concern towards your boyfriend . If he cannot visit a psychiatrist please suggest him to take online help. I would be more than happy to help him come out of his depression. It is easily manageable. Some counselling and if needed medical help might be useful for him.
