How do you help someone who is depressed?

………..especially if they can’t see that they’re depressed.

Friend had a major incident last year. Person wasn’t injured particularly badly, but they made a mistake, and their confidence was badly shaken. At the time recovery seemed normal, the physical wounds healed, and they were back “on the horse” so to speak.

But I am wondering if the experience has had more significant psychological effects. Trouble sleeping, constant digestive issues, lots of trips to the loo, difficulty coping with work stress, and a few other issues that usually have a psychological cause.

Of course …. won’t discuss it with me.

My GP suggested depression, and I have been thinking that maybe its something to consider ….. but how do I convince the unconvinced? With my sister it was easy ….. basically I talked sense at her until she gave in and went to see her GP, simply to shut me up. This person is just a bit more stubborn.
