Anxiety, emotional pain, pessimistic behavior, environment, personal issues, disappointments and the likes. The only cure, without the help of medication, is support. Create a free-flowing and enjoyable aura around the person and try to uplift their spirit. It may take time...come to think of it, time is also one of the cures against depression. Now, if it takes too long...it would be wise to seek help.
Weep as much as you want and feel the hands of despair groping for your soul for nothing can ease the pain of losing your beloved like the gentle thrust of my pen. *poke*

What causes depression? A lot of things can cause depression, i.e. anxiety, personal problems (divorce, death, etc.)
Cure for depression? Maybe medication, a therapist... (It does help, really.)
Otherwise, being a good friend helps too.- Currently watching: Cowboy Bebop, Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda, Space Dandy

stress most likely, or personal problems, or hormonal problems even. depression is a thing that affects a lot of people yet no one really cares because it's pretty much vague.
depression cures come in a variety of ways. prescription drugs to family support.
i myself was depressed before. i find that distracting myself and doing something that makes me really happy does good, but having someone there for me makes me feel much better.
i never went to a doctor because no one knew what was wrong with me ;Dbe there for your friend, show her how nice life can be. lie down on a field and watch clouds float by or go to the beach and have fun. don't feel bad if your friend takes time to recover. some things just take time.

not to be rude or anything but I'm the type of person that is against meds for this sort of thing, the best thing to do is moral support as well as a positive environment, safe from the net if they go on the net and into these kinds of sites, get them out in the world some, like outside, too cold then have them color in a coloring book, don't take them anywhere where there are a lot of people this is only asking for trouble...I suffer from depression and many other things and this is just some of the things I do...also therapy helps, or having them talk about their problems...sometimes a good listener is very helpful

cause: sometimes natural... sometimes a breakup.... a death..... a bad grade.... being lonely...... being torn apart from the person you love
cure: pill, some one to talk to, love, some one to care...... but a pill works most the time
depression sucks and just don't have your friend start having sex to make her feel better.... because it does not satisfy me so i doubt it works

and just tell the person that they are being foolish to want to die when they are people who care about them and wish they would still be living with em aroundmerged: 03-17-2009 ~ 08:00pm

causes can be wide ranging...as many people have said, it could be anxiety, a personal situation or maybe they don't really know themselves...
the only real cure for it has to come from the person themselves, meanwhile, moral support goes such a long way...

your sister's social circle is quite depressing ain't it...
anyways... for your friend, you should ask your friend's reason for depression. causes for depression after all, is various. and so does the cure.

Now as someone who has attempted to commit suicide.
1. Yes, there are a lot of causes. It could be genetic (chronic depression), or it could be some outer stimulus (as in something outside causing it).
2. Cures: Drugs (some are sedating, some have weird side effects, allergies, etc etc). I have taken I think... 6(?) different types of anti-depressant and the one that I'm on seems to be working the best.
Therapy, aside from how stupid the stereotypical ones look, yes, it helps.
Resolving the actual cause is the best and sometimes the hardest 'cure' to do so.?(/??)?

genetic means in your DNA is it realy in your DNA then
if it is there must be no way to cure exept suicide
but maybe becoming emo then might help to only the 'cutting yourself emo'why?

I'm pretty sure "genetic" means that the fact that they feel depressed is inherited from their parents. It doesn't mean that they can't feel depressed; it just means that they're more likely to have depression.
I don't think self-mutilation will help depression in the least, though it might make the person feel better for a while, it doesn't really do anything useful in the long run. And, once the person starts cutting, like smoking, it's hard to stop, and it can become dangerous.
As someone who has a cousin contemplating suicide, I would have to say that the best thing you can do for someone who wants to kill themselves is to tell them not to and give them good, solid arguments why they shouldn't do it.
Otherwise, I would recommend a therapist (and possibly get some anti-depressants). It honestly does help, as evident by how my cousin has not tried to kill herself yet.- Currently watching: Cowboy Bebop, Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda, Space Dandy
