"When you begin to notice a difference in a person, let him or her know you are concerned and help him or her understand why," according to Espinoza. He says helping a victim of depression involves trying to talk to the person about w hat is bothering him or her. But if one hesitates to talk, then it is best to let him or her know that he or she is welcome to share any problems at any time. If that fails, people who are closer to the person, such as family members, should be approached, or inevitably, "seek professional help as soon as possible because the earlier the treatment, the better chance at preventing a more severe problem," Espinoza said. In most cases, professional help does prevent more severe problems such as attempted or successful suicide.
