text: The final reason why talking to someone is always helpful is that they can help you get the help you need. When dealing with depression, it's never a good option to handle that battle alone. My friend had depression and never talked to me about it. I could see the signs and would tell him that talking to me would help and make him feel better. He ended up telling me a lot and almost killed himself, but then I tried my hardest to help him realize there's a lot more to life then to be sad. He went to a therapist and got the help he needed.
