Depression is treated with quite serious methods with the help of psychotherapy and medications.

3. They are afraid to be alone
Everyone who has ever faced depression understands how hard it is for the person himself and his loved ones. Sometimes a friend or partner may become distant because they are not ready to provide support. Naturally, many are afraid of this and do not share their problems.
