early symptoms of depression.

　　 People with depression often feel left alone, sometimes even guilty about telling others about their problems.Say that you understand that it's hard.That doesn't necessarily mean you understand what it feels like to be depressed, but a simple admission of the uneasiness of what your friend is going through can take some of his/her guilt and negative feelings away.

　　Almost every college has a counseling center (心理咨询中心) or campus psychologists to talk to once you're feeling stressed or depressed. Letting your friend know that there are resources available is important.Provide your friend with a list of the resources you found so he/she can choose what to do.

　　In a situation where you can't get your friend to calm down and he/she refuses to seek treatment or call a counselor for help, remember that you can also pick up the phone yourself and call counseling services to ask for help.
