How can you help prevent depression in others?

2

At school, my teacher told us depression is one of the leading disorders in humans, it’s greater in number than people getting cancer!

After hearing this, I feel the want to make sure my friends and family never get into this state, because it’s hard to get out of right?
What are some ways that I can help my friends feel good about themselves every day, to help prevent depression?

    It’s great that you’re concerned and care about your loved ones enough to make sure they never become depressed; depression is a natural occurence, and sometimes, no matter how hard we try, cannot be prevented because of an individual’s experiences.
    However, simply being there will be a great source of inspiration and encouragement for many people. Talking and getting them to think through decisions will also help.
