Learning Social Skills and Communication re: Depression
Understanding social skills and communication in the context of depression is crucial. Observing cues like verbalizing happiness and providing silence during sadness can create a supportive environment for communication. Social skills are akin to learning any other skill such as carpentry or tennis, and they can be improved through practice.

Instead, it is important to show empathy, listen without judgment, and be present for them in a compassionate and understanding way.
