Ep. 30: How to care for a depressed friend

On this week's episode of Absolutely Write, Host Aditi Surana talks about how we can help and take care of our depressed friend, family member or someone around us. She elaborates on various ways to deal with our depressed friend or family member. She also explains how her social initiatives have helped more than 700 people to get better. We already have stigma around mental health and on top of that the focus is always “to fix” the broken people. We keep looking at what a depressed or anxious person can do? In today’s episode we wish to focus only on the second question and talk about how we can take responsibility. Mental illness is an epidemic. How long are we going to wait before we accept it?

This episode can answer these following questions:
1. How to know if someone is suffering through an emotional and mental challenge?
2. The second really important question - What not to do?
3. How to ‘be there’ for that person no matter what?
