Reply to comment by Khanzhei in How do you deal with depressed people? by Khanzhei

I've noticed that people who are sad are in pain and need help. It never hurts to try help people. Positivity in all cases instead of actually approaching with reality and a realistic perspective likely leads to many unnecessary deaths in the USA. One of the things I've gathered from knowing sad people is they have more world and life perspective than was expressed in your comment.

I have a friend who broke up with his girlfriend, he has been talking in a low voice ever since, he's always aggressive and really low in iq, but he's still been my friend for years and the idiot has been damaging our relationship because of his ridiculous depressive thoughts.

Tell him to get help. You also need to know when you can't help as a friend.

Actually, I did my best, but I think I should wait for his situations to pass.
