When you have to deal with an unhappy person, how do you try to help them feel better ?

Answer 1

I've battled depression for 10 years. The last five on my own. I've realised that seeing doctor after doctor just depresses me more. Find something they like to do. Make them know that they are important in your life. They will be overly modest, but keep telling them. Shower them with gifts and suprizes. Make sure they know they are significant in the world.

Being a Pharmacy technician I deal with this every day. The best thing to do is just try and comfort them. Never Raise your Voice or Yell back. That just makes things worse. Try to Explain the situation the best you can and hopefully they will understand.

Answer 3

I usually look at what type of person they are an dwhat it was that happened to make them feel like that. Then I talk to them till I know what they need. I Usually, after talking for a while, Help them by using humor. If it helps you can pray to know what you need to do... good luck..!!!
