Re: About Depression & BiPolar
I popped in and had a look at it, it seems pretty good for those not sure about depression and it also has advice for those looking out for those with depression

Re: About Depression & BiPolar
Good advice
not to give...
don't
Tell them to 'snap out of it' or 'harden up'. People cannot 'will' themselves better from moderate or severe depression
Encourage excess alcohol and drug use as a coping strategy - it can make things worse
Avoid them – they already feel isolated and this can make their depression worse
Assume the problem will just go away
Judge or criticise them for what they’re going through
Lose hope - they need you to believe they will get through this
Give unhelpful advice – for example, 'just think of people who are worse off’.
