You never really want to give them space. More space gives the depression more room to grow. The best way to fight depression is to get them out and doing something. Get their mind of the problem for a few seconds and get them to have fun. The chemical process of depression depletes seratonin levels in the brain. Seratonin is the chemical that is closely associated with happiness and well being. If you can jump start seratonin production levels, you can beat the depression. That requires getting the person you love to take their mind off of the things that are depleting their seratonin.

If they are depressed about something that you can help them with, then help them. If you shower them with kindness just because they are depressed, they will be depressed even more, because they'll think that's the ONLY reason why you are being so kind.
If there is nothing that you can do, then just let them know that you are there for them, and that they can always run to you.

it deipends who the person it, if they are someone that likes a lot of love i would give kindness but if its someone more tough then i would just give them space and if they need help they will come and ask you for it. Don't think that love and kindness will bring out good in everyone, i've tried it...it doesn't

Comfort them, and if they need their own space, they will let you know. Because if you give them too much space, they will think that you are ignoring them. When someone is very depressed, they tend to twist everything out of proportion. So don't avoid them, but don't be to forward. I hope my advice helped. I hope ur friend comes out of their depression.

It depends on the type of depression. Suicide or harming themselves get professional help. Keep a close eye on them offer a movie or ice cream get them out of the house. Have fun go bowling use group activities to share the load of filling the time so it won't look so suspicious. Just be aware and let them know your concerned.

I would shower them with kindness. If a girl wants space, she would ask for space. If she doesn't say anything, I would try to comfort her as much as I can, but not overdone.

A equal amount of both. I mean you have to be with them sometimes and be nice of course! But you also need to give them space because when you keep too close her/his friends aren't goin to like you much cause you are taking him/her away from them. Jus gotta find the middle.

I think you should show them how much you care and see how that works out. I also think that they need to know you are there for them and being kind is always a plus! Good luck with everything I hope the one you love feels better. If you need anymore advice get in touch with me : )

Give them a hug. Offer them a dinner so they can talk if they need to and then give them space. Check up on them about once a week to let them know you are thinking about them.
