Depression

A compassionate person would not say to somebody

 in a wheel chair "Just stand up and walk yourself!"

You would not turn your back on them if 

they needed assistance. If necessary, you would 

provide help and make allowances for their disability. 

Please show that compassion to those that suffer 

from Depression too...Don't tell them to "Pull 

themselves together!" Don't just walk away .

Show them love and support, listen to them, be there 

for them, make some allowances. You don't need to 

pretend that you know what they are going through,

just let them know that you care.

They may not be in a wheelchair....Depression is an 

invisible illness, but that does not mean that is isn't 

debilitating.
