Depression

    How do you know the difference between someone being down/ angry after a fight and depression? Is there any tell tale signs? The guy I have been seeing the last few months has suffered from depression in the past, not while ive been around. Hes had a tough few days after an arguement. I feel because of the length of time he has been upset about this arguement and the way he spoke so negatively, mainly about himself, that it could be the start of a depressive episode.

    Although hes not technically my boyfriend, we are very close and I want to help him in whatever way I can. I know he will let me help but im not sure how to. I know that the doctors is probably the first port of call but I dont feel its my place to send him or suggest it. I know he will do that if he needs it, hes good like that. Is there other ways I can help him? things I could do/say or things I shouldnt do/say. Any personal points of view would be great. I dont want to hound him I just want him to know hes not alone in this. Hopefully I am wrong but if im not i want to be prepared. ive never known anyone whos suffered from this before.

    Thanks for reading, all views appreciated
