Let there be no doubt that depression is a serious mental illness that requires months and sometimes years of depression help on the path to a cure.
Every year, millions of Americans feel the symptoms and causes of depression. The situation becomes worse because only one third of those who suffer depression ever get treated. Because depression is considered a mental affliction, many sufferers shy away from seeking help from a doctor. Instead of being considered mentally ill, people try to manage the problem themselves. Unlike a headache depression doesn\’t eventually stop on its own, and more people suffer from depression than you might think.
Why do people get depressed, and what are the causes of depression? The answer can get very complicated because you have to take many factors into consideration. There are so many things factored into the cause of this disease. Lets examine some of the most notorious. Many medical professionals believe that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Why does this chemical problem in the brain happen? The causes can be genetic, mental or even come from the environment.
Doctors sometimes don\’t find the root cause, which is true for many patients. Many become depressed when they are diagnosed with a very serious medical condition. This is especially the case if the diagnosis presents the possibility of death or impairment.
Depression can also stem from the emotional pain when a close person dies. Everyone knows such losses are serious. Some depression is brought on after years of physical, emotional or sexual abuse. When people abuse drugs and/or alcohol the result is often depression. Even a perfectly healthy person, when exposed to the right combination of events and issues, can become afflicted with chronic depression.
There can also be a genetic element to for individuals who suffer from depression. People who have a strong background of depression in the family are at a high risk . There are even some prescribed medications that can bring on depression. Studies and tests show a casual relation between many high blood pressure medications and depression.

How can I help my boyfriend?
This Summer my boyfriend has been depressed. He thinks his parents are cheating on each other, which I think there is a possibility. Like 75% chance that they are. And it’s causing some depression. There may be more that’s adding to it but it’s hard to get stuff out of him. But he’s been drinking smoking and partying a lot lately because he wants to get away from the pain, and he does it so much it’s almost like he has no feelings, how do I help him? He truly needs it and I don’t know what to do
Sounds like he is having fun and using that as an excuse to party!

go to a council er

Be understanding, nonjudgmental, and encourage him to talk about his feelings. Try to get him to talk about why his parents’ infidelity is so upsetting. Also you may want to suggest counseling if he’s open to it.

have you asked him to talk to you? take him out somewhere quiet and help him spit it out. thats the only way hes going to feel bettet.**

Idk I’m a guy and when I’m depressed, I like to go to places that make me happy or chill and watch funny movies with my gf.

References :
distract him other ways…….. take him out have some good clean fun
References :
Go partying together but try not let him drink so much!
Try get him to talk to you and let him know ur there for him and smoking and drinkin etc wont solve anything!
Has he talked to hes parents, maybe he needs to jus ask his mum and dad if theyre both ok and if theyre ok with each other!
Im not sure how old u r or if u work etc or have time/money to do this…
well possibly u could the money he uses on drinking etc you could use for a nice night away or weekend just book a hotel somewhere nice and get away from everyone
maybe u even live together now so might not make a difference but it might help just to get out of town and turn ur fones off and just have time for you two.

GIVE HIM SOME ATTENTION DEPENDING ON YOUR AGE :

Don’t force his feelings out of him. Let him come to you about it.
Make sure he knows you’re there for him. It helps when they know someone they love is there for them.

First of all sorry to hear about this…
If you care about him and you don’t want him to smoke/drink/party too much then I think you should tell him that. If he cares about you too then he’ll listen to you and stop for you. Make him believe that in the future, you’re going to be his most important thing in his life. I think that religion is a very good thing to go to when you’re troubled, maybe verses from the Bible would help.

My heart goes out to you. That is truly a difficult situation. Parents turmoil always becomes the childrens turmoil.
I have learned through an experience that you can only help someone if they want to be helped. Men communicate different than we do and its important not to grill him and push him into discussing his feelings.
Make sure he knows you are there for him if he needs to talk or just someone to cheer him up.
You also have to be careful not to make his problem your problem. We tend to do this when we love someone. But sometimes if we try hard to rescue someone who doesn’t want to be saved we will drown with them.
I really wish you the best in this!

See if he can spend time with you or at your house or something, away from the things that are making him depressed. he can also see a councellor, or even his gp, if he is feeling down.
Make sure he knows youre there for him if he wants to talk, but if he doesnt want to talk, just be with him and talk about things that make him happy.
Nothing cures depression like love.

My best guy friend is going through the same thing. He keeps everything locked up too. But when he gets into the mood to talk I just listen and give him positive feed back. I dont bother telling him to stop partying becuase hes just trying to have fun, i just always say "don’t do anything stupid"
I think you just need to talk to him when hes in the mood to talk,
and just be there for him. Hangout with him more so he wont go out n smoke n drink as much. Hes just dealing the best way he knows how (=

:[ just try to be there for him as much as you can..you cant really do anything..because this is between his parents

Confront him. Tell him that you are worried about him. Its not healthy to beat yourself up over it. He might think that drugs & alcohol will save him from his problems. It won’t. It ruins people.

I had a horrible life at home when I was a teen, I am a coke addict now because I took out my pain & anger by doing drugs. I thought it made me feel better, truth is… It made my life WORSE. Please share this with him.
take him to a counselor. sit down and talk with him. stage an intervention if you have to. he needs help so you should do whatever is possible to help him. tell him you’ll be there for him, be nice, but if he says he doesn’t care or that he doesn’t want to talk then stop acting so nice and tell him face to face that he’s hurting himself and you. if you bring up the fact that his behavior is hurting other people he will probably think before going to another party.

Take a cruise
or just blow him twice a day. SERIOUSLY!!! you have no idea what a difference it makes 
References :
maybe you should talk to him
then after you are done talking with him ask him to talk to his parents
and i think if he really loves you he will always want you to be by his side when his sad and worry about something
i think the best think that you could do for him right now is be by his side and talk to him
sorry if my english is bad
