Step 1
Meet him/her as soon as possible because it will make him/her feel that there are people who care for him/her. You can also bring something which your depressed fellow likes, depending on the situation.

Step 2
When you call upon your depressed fellow, make sure that you get maximum silence around you. For this purpose, you can also take him/her for a drive or in some cafe.

Step 3
Try to make the depressed fellow comfortable by giving water and asking him/her to sit down. Patting the depressed individual on the spinal portion is also very helpful. Because, in these situations, blood
pressure usually becomes abnormal and these things help in normalizing it.

Step 4
Talk to him/her. Obviously, the depressed individual will talk about his feelings and express his/her emotions. You should hear patiently because repressed emotions, when released, make people comfortable. So, Catharsis is the best medicine. Try your best to highlight the good effects of the bad situation.

When you see that the depressed fellow is quite relaxed, try to drive away from the topic. Do not change it quickly because it may make other person feel that you are not interested in his/her matter. Poetry is usually helpful for this cause.
