And I'm not talking about a romantic relationship here. In a general scenario, what helps guys get out of depression? And what can a girl do (as just a friend) to help him?

Well if it is a serious depression that means he has a chemical imbalance. He should go talk to someone about it. He may need medication and chances are there is nothing that a person can do to bring him out of his depression. Maybe suggest going to talk to someone about it, or asking him if he is seriously upset.
If he's just in a bad mood it should pass, it could just be a phase in his life. Just support and encourage him in any way you can.

Hi Captain, just wanted to say that in my opinion your answer is the best answer that could be given on the subject. You sound like a good friend. I just wanted to say that. Also, as someone who suffers from depression myself, I agree completely. Joy you should encourage him and be a good friend, but definitely encourage him to see a doctor and get help.

Thanks for the response... Can you please explain "support and encourage him"? Because those words mean different things to men and women and if I have a guy friend who is depressed, something that may cheer me up might irritate him.
