Myth: Family and friends can’t help me with my depression.
Fact: Family and friends can help by offering emotional support, including understanding, patience, affection, and encouragement. Try to engage in conversation with others and listen carefully. With family and friends you can also participate in outings and activities with others and they could help you to sign up for an old activity that you used to really enjoy.
