Depression and Suicide

If someone you know or love is depressed or suicidal all you can do is try to help them realize what is causing them to feel that way, listen to them and seek help for them. There is nothing you can do to change the way they feel. Teenagers, adults cannot deal with problems in their family (mental illness, addictions, poverty, etc.) and their own problems and they may be struggling, asking for help, and not receiving it immediately and not able to see there are other options or solutions to their problems.
