sadness usually lasts for a shorter period of time (could be over a couple of days) whereas depression or feeling depressed generally lasts for more than 2 weeks.

For better or for worse?posted in Mental Health
I have a friend who's currently seeking help for depression. I want to support her as a friend. I try to find out more about her thoughts and emotions whenever she's down. However, sometimes I feel the need to be firm with my words to her so that she starts to think from a clearer perspective rather than being stuck in this mindset of self-victimizing.
I don't know if I'm being helpful or am I causing her to feel worse. Any thoughts about this?
