first make sure you can give him the moral support he need's.then have him sit down in a room alone, w/ 2 pieces of paper and write down why he should move on 1 page and why he should stay on another piece of paper. sometimes putting it writing help's better then letting your thoughts run wild and over welm your mind. then he needs to weigh out the positve side verses the negative side. i hope this helps out, (helps me when i put it in writing)after he makes his desicion he should rip the paper up. since these are personal thoughts.....

well if shes not ready to go to doctor you cant do anything about it..what you can do is talk to her and than tell her like that getting in depression doesnt solve any problem infact it will increase it if she dont understand than what you can do is divert his/her mind to different things always do jokes with him/her take him/her out in the night to watch movie or just chilling out in malls..just make him/her happy...Joint family can be a depression problem also because in a joint family you are not independent to take your decisions or maybe she like the family so much that she dont want to leave it..to be true all you can do is explain her that it is neccessary for him her to do a job otherwise he/she could suffer in future very badly...

It really depends on how your friend would see that: is it an attempt to offer a genuine help OR a way to control my life and my choices in life!? How does your friend see people who are suffering from a mental health problem: does he empathize or judge them?
I've been in this situation & didn't ask myself these questions before I opened my mouth...

I would just let her be...if you try to force her into going to a doctor...that could only make her MAD!! (Plus maybe she is going and you don't know)...a lot of people keep it private you know...we are all raised different...where you see she is overly dependant on Mom...others may not see it that way...so be it>>>>

YOU cannot help your friend unless you are a mental health professional. Your friend hasn't "hit bottom" yet, or would seek help and medication. I would advise you to stay out of their business. Your friend might be co-dependent on their family and YOU and you won't be helping at all. Recommend they go to a counselor and a M.D. Godloveya.
