“FACT: Depression, which saps energy and self-esteem, interferes with a person’s ability or wish to get help”(UC Davis 1).” It is an act of true friendship to share your concerns with an adult who can help”(DMH 1). No matter what you “promised” to keep secret, your friend’s life is more important than a promise.So if you know someone that shows depression symptoms, you’re doing them a favor by telling an adult to get them help.
