GF's Depression?

What's the best way to help with a partners depression?

Answer:
Talk to you girlfriend about it. Ask her what's happening in her life. Don't push her into telling you anything she doesn't feel ready to talk about but do let her know you're there if she needs to talk. If she tells you to never come back, do it anyway. Do things with her that you know make her smile and laugh. If you don't know what that is, try some things. You're bound to find something that works. If she didn't go to the doctor about the depression, go instead and ask the doctor what YOU can do to help her. There are pills, but they don't always work. In fact, most don't work. She will need to keep switching pills and sometimes she has to stay off ANY PILL so the next one doesn't mess with what the last one did. If she doesn't feel that she wants or needs the help of a doctor or psychologist/psychiatrist, go to one yourself and let them know you're trying to help her as much as you possibly can. They'll tell you how. But you can't do anything if she doesn't wanna be helped. Just in case you find yourself in that situation, you shouldn't be surprised.
tell her you are there for her, no matter what. make her feel secure and loved. when she cries, hold her and be there for her. if she wants to talk, listen and let her know that you want to help. if she's not ready to talk yet, accept that and tell her that if she needs to, you're happy to discuss her feelings with her. if she's not got professional help yet, you could suggest it, but don't push her into it. Good luck and God bless. xxx
