I want to preface by saying that I don't suffer from depression, so I am unable to personally relate to anything he says. I listen to him and offer all I can, but I'm not a mental health professional nor can I offer anecdotal advice. Even when he does talk to me about it, he's not really wanting me to say anything back necessarily. I think he's just venting.

I just wish he'd do something, *anything* to help himself. He won't see a doctor for a prescription, he won't seek therapy. It's almost like he's happy in his misery.

Is there anything I can do?
