No matter where you stand in the present situation, many are alienated, feeling alone, and disillusioned right now and are probably struggling to make sense of the whole thing. And combined with everything else in your life you find yourself in a state of depression. Now is the time to learn how to take control of your emotions as much as possible to help yourself or someone you know find the key to open the door so that you can see the light.

   Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can be challenging to figure out a path or know how to help someone who is struggling with depression.

   Here is some information that will help.

1. Recognize the symptoms: Learn about the symptoms of depression to recognize them. Symptoms may include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, irritability, and fatigue, among others 

2. Be supportive: Let them know that you are there for them and that you care about them. Encourage them to talk about their feelings and listen without judgment.

3. Encourage treatment: Encourage them to seek professional help. Treatment for depression may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Offer to help them find a therapist or doctor if they need it 

4. Take care of yourself: Supporting someone with depression can be emotionally taxing, so it’s essential to take care of yourself too. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, eating well, and taking time for yourself 

  Remember that depression is a treatable condition, and with the right support, your loved one can recover. If you’re unsure how to help, don’t hesitate to reach out to a mental health professional for guidance

  You can find quite a few books written on getting your Ex Back and making him fall crazy in love or how to blow his mind with a simple text, and so on but it goes without saying that real communication is the key to a good relationship, that's just a start.  Even with all the relevant information found within book pages and articles, it takes two to Tango, so to speak. There are other ingredients involved in this mix and according to Psychiatry Today; building a solid relationship includes, sharing values, having common interests, emotional support, physical intimacy, and the willingness to work through challenges. Relationships aren't one-sided or easy and will probably test your ego. I know couples who have been together for years, and I have observed that the main foundation of their success is putting each other's welfare at the center of the relationship.  Every relationship is unique and requires effort from both partners. So if you can honestly listen, control your emotions, pick up on body language, and be able to take a verbal body punch (take criticism) then you're in.  {Men, are you listening?}

  Many years ago my uncle told me, "You never really know a person until you live with them."  I found that to be true and I also found that you really should learn as much as you can about that person you plan to devote a great bit of your time to before your hormones take control. Today relationships have a few more considerations that need to be factored in like empathy, reliability, mutual respect, and having similar goals and values.  And be aware that some want to control and manipulate.  No one's perfect, keep that in mind while you think beyond the obvious.
