Thanks Stew. I appreciate that. Thankfully I'm doing ok this last couple of weeks, having been through a horrendous time before that. Thanks for your post. 👍

Hi guys...hope some of you can give me some advice.

I have a friend who i think is very depressed, he's not taking calls or texts atm and is off work. He told me last week he was not sleeping at night and had got pills from Doctor to help him sleep. My other bud called around to see him (after me telling him the craic) but he didn't answer the door (my bud said he seen the light going off as he knocked on the door). My question is how do i approach this...? (he has had his fair share of bad luck and incidents over the last year or two)

Do i call?
Do i approach someone in his family?
Should i leave him alone and give him his space?

I know nothing about depression only from reading a few posts on here so please forgive my ignorance on the subject but i'd appreciate your help and advice so i know how to handle this.

Ask the family
He might not want to see people

I'd ring one of the Depression helplines and ask them. Not being smart, but they are the best people to advise friends and family on situations like this.

I've sent you a PM. 👍

I would make sure the family knows your concerns at least.

Not sure there's much you could do beyond that, especially if he won't respond to your calls or texts and won't answer the door.
