Ofrecer apoyo con cuidado “Una de las formas en las que puedes ayudar es preguntar: ‘¿Cómo puedo apoyarte mejor en este momento?'”, señalaron desde la Alianza Nacional de Enfermedades Mentales (NAMI).

Evitar decir frases como “¡Piensa positivamente!” o “¡Esto pasará!”. La depresión es una enfermedad, no un estado de ánimo.

Evitar ofrecer soluciones Quienes no son médicos no podrán tratar el problema sin importar la voluntad que pongan en ello. Apoyar el plan de tratamiento No juzgar la elección de tratamiento de la persona. No tratar de convencerla para que haga algo diferente.
