– Chances are their room is a disaster and they have -846 motivation to do anything about it. Helping them tidy up will make them feel a little less overwhelmed. 

– Do their laundry. Even small chores seem to pile up when a person is depressed and not having clean clothes won’t make them feel any better. Washing their bedding is also great.

– Try to convince them to go for a short walk with you. There is a good chance they will feel a lot better after.

– If you can’t get them outside, at least open a window for fresh air and let some sunshine in.

– Prepare them a healthy meal with some fresh fruit. Many depressed people fall into bad eating patterns. 

– If they aren’t eating enough, make sure they are taking a multi vitamin since not getting enough of a vitamin causes depression

– Make them a warm, nice smelling bath. Aromatherapy is a great way to treat depression and anxiety. 

– Write them a letter or card to read for when they’re feeling really bad.

– Make them a recovery playlist with some of their favourite songs and anything up lifting.

– Make them laugh.

– Make them a cup of tea and sit with them.

– Listen to them and try to understand what they’re feeling.
