Is she really depressed, or just sad? There is a difference, and both conditions require different approaches. Making a sad person happy is a fairly straightforward approach (easier said than done, of course), but a truly depressed person often requires professional help. I have two friends who are clinically depressed; both became so depressed that they stopped leaving their rooms and barely ate anything. Both ended up dropping out of college in the last semester of their senior year. If your friend is truly depressed, you should certainly seek help for her.
