If you feel you have symptoms of depression, make an appointment with your doctor or mental health professional as soon as possible. If you think someone from your family or friends is going through it, try to talk to them and convince them to take medical help.
It is always good to talk if you feel like you have depression. One can talk to a friend, family member, loved one, or even a mentor or a faith leader whom he or she trusts. This is really better than going for a depression treatment.
A person should call for immediate help if he is having suicidal thoughts or thoughts of hurting himself. A family member or friend should also contact for immediate help if they come to know about such issues.
Contact the doctor, hospital, or mental health professional for treatment for depression.
