When does depression need help? I am not talking about when someone starts talking about hurting themselves or others, but what is the stage before than when one needs some help?

I guess it would depend on how it is affecting the person, and also the cause. Situational depression can be pretty severe and it can be forgiven for not seeking treatment because in short you need to get through what you are going through and come out better on the other side.

But if its long term, then help is best sought.

There are many signs of depression and yeah, talking about hurting yourself or suicide is definitely a sign...a late one...

If you think someone is depressed speak out right away...pull your friend aside and ask them if they are okay. Don't wait until they make an outward plea for help. That could be too late.

What is wrong with the world today that we feel the need to "keep to ourselves" and "keep our mouths shut"? If your friend is your friend then you should definitely be the one to say hey there buddy..whats wrong? what's bothering you and more importantly...what can i do to help?

Say something.
