Find ways to start talking
Whilst every individual's experience with depression is personal to them, it is not intrusive to check in with them. Ways to do this without forcing the conversation can include:
- Asking them ‘how are you today?’
- Mentioning something that is concerning you, for example, ‘I’ve noticed you haven’t been sleeping as much lately, is there something on your mind?’
- Letting them know you’re there if they want to talk
- Doing everyday activities together
