As someone who has struggled with depression for years now, I feel like there's a need to explain something to our non-depressed friends. So, if you have a friend whom you think has depression, read this thread. It might help you help them.

When you notice your friend suddenly becoming super reserved and distant, they're most likely having an 'episode'. By that, I mean that their depression is rearing its head up and is taking the driver's seat in their head. When that happens, usually, the self isolation kicks in.
Sometimes, they're not necessarily quiet when they're around you. But they will disappear off social media or reply to texts/messages a bit later than usual. It depends on the individual.
Who is a psychologist? Why do we need one? I'm not crazy, why should I visit a psychologist? I would rather talk to a friend instead of talking to a psychologist. Approaching a psychologist puts my honour at risk, and also my family's.
Several questions of such kind always occur in our mind, when it is suggested to us to visit a psychologist. We need to understand why it is important to talk to a psychologist when in need. We need to understand the importance of being aware, and taking care of our mental health
And before that, it is important to understand what a psychologist is and how he or she can help us when in need.
