One great way to support someone with depression is by being an active listener. Encourage them to share their feelings without judgment, and validate their emotions. Sometimes, just knowing that someone cares and is there to listen can make a huge difference. Additionally, you can help them find resources, such as support groups or mental health professionals, and offer to accompany them to appointments if they feel comfortable with it.

It's essential to remember that everyone's experience with depression is unique. Some people might find comfort in metal music, as it can help express and release difficult emotions. However, for others, certain genres or songs might exacerbate their feelings of sadness or anxiety. Exploring various music styles and finding what works best for each individual is crucial in managing their mental health.

A common misconception about depression is that it's something you can just 'snap out of.' However, depression is a severe mental health condition that often requires professional treatment.
