- No need to try to cheer up a depressed person, urge him to «shake himself up», take part in the «celebration of life», have fun and give yourself pleasure.
- Do not try to convince a depressed comrade that he does not have reasons for despondency and emotional distress, arguing that «on the whole, everything is in order with him.»
