不要對有抑鬱症的人說這些

If you want to help a loved one with depression, telling them to "cheer up", is not the answer. Depression is an illness and as such, it's completely different from feeling upset or sad. On Reddit, people with depression have been sharing the things they wish people would stop saying to try and make them feel happier.
如果你很想幫助患有抑鬱症的愛人，那對他們說"振作起來"並不是答案。抑鬱是一種疾病，因此與沮喪或傷心完全不同。在Reddit網站上，患有抑鬱症的人分享了那些他們不希望再聽到的想讓他們開心點的話。
