Hi!(",)Well, if your friend wanted or asked for your advice then you can give her some encouragements and lift up his/her spirit. I may not know the cause of your friend's depression but I now for sure that it will just pass and soon your friend will be back to normal as long as you will stay with him/her and show them that you care.(",) A strong emotional support will help boost your friend's confidence and will soon get by from the depression state. Good luck and hope that your friend will be okay soon.(",)

If your friend is really depressed she should go speak with a doctor about it. Depression is a medical condition and if she is suffering from this, there is help out there. If it's just the blues you can just make sure you are there for her and let her know that you'll help out in anyway you can. Sometimes we all get kind of down in life and it's nice to have our friends around, but depression is definitely not something to be ignored.

i think that to help ur friend out of depression effectively, u need to noe y they r so depressed... and address the problem... but no matter what it is these should work:
- help take their mind of the problem by taking them to their favourite place
- buy a gift for them
- invite them to a party
- tkae them out for lunch
- support them no matter what
- fulfil one of their dreams / wishes .. ask them what do they want in life n c if u can make it come true...
i hope that helped. i'll also pray for your friend n u should do the same. God hears and answers all ur prayers so u remember u can turn to Him anytime.
TAKE CARE !
