When someone you know and love is suffering from clinical depression, you want to be there for them. However, keep in mind that your friend or loved one suffers from a health problem. Therefore, being supportive can mean more than just offering a shoulder to cry on.

From our video on 14 ways to recognize suicidal thoughts in someone, many of you have asked us how to help someone suffering from depression or suicidal thoughts. So we decided to make this video to start.

Please help us complete the list so we can help more people! And share this video around you!
