How to open a depressed person

To open up to depressed patients, the first thing is to establish a good relationship with the patient and to gain the patient’s trust and support and cooperation. Then you can encourage and guide the patients to express and vent their bad emotions, or even encourage them to vent or cry, but make sure that the patients are safe and healthy, and pay attention to the time and frequency of venting and crying. If the depressed patient tells something unhappy or encounters difficulties, you can also help the patient to analyze and understand the matter, and then identify the pessimistic perceptions and thoughts of the patient in these difficulties and matters. In the case of patients with a psychological foundation, it is also possible to help patients explore the self at the subconscious level and discover immature psychological stress mechanisms, etc.
