I have a very good friend that has been suffering with depression for a few years now. They have a therapist they see on a weekly basis. They have been diagnosed with depression by multiple doctors, and they know 100% they have depression. 

Yet they refuse to take medication, without giving a reason. They also believe that medication would make them feel better.   


I’m at a loss of how to help them, and understand why someone would refuse to take a medication they believe would help them.
