(REPLY) Sat Nam. This seems to be an ongoing discussion, and I've missed the previous part of it. I would like to say that depression may be a medical condition and in that case, he should see a physician. Also, depending upon how you are "supporting" him makes a difference between encourging him to stay depressed, or get over it (if he can). A true friend does what is best for the other, sympathy is not always the best thing a friend can give. Compassion, yes, but jumping into the quicksand to rescue someone only means that you both are smothered to death. Blessings, SP
