Q. What is the treatment for depression?
Hello doctor,
I have a female friend who has been depressed for a few months since she heard about someone suffering from brain cancer. She does not want to talk to any professionals. I am really worried, and I think she needs help and guidance. I have researched depression and grief and found that it is serious, and it scares me. I need help to get her back to normal. Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
