Need some advice with a friend undergoing depression
For starters I'm originally putting this in S7 because this group is generally more mature.
Anyway, I have a friend, lets call her Rachael . Rachael is seeing a depression counsellor because she's depressed, obviously.
For a slight bit of back story, Rachael was raped a couple months ago, and it's obviously the ultimate root of her depression.
Anyway, she has said that she doesn't want to tell this counsellor about it because she's afraid that if she does it will go to the police, and she doesn't want to let her family find out and be upest (at least that's what she says why she doesn't want to)
But, if the fact that she was raped is what's making her depressed, and she isn't telling the councillor why she is depressed, then would the councillor still be able to "cure" the depression?

Nobody can truly help her free herself from depression except herself. If she doesn't want to stay like that then she needs to think about whether or not it would be good to remain in that mental state. She needs to start thinking about herself and being happy first and foremost. The incident will always remain with her but there's nothing she can do about it except trying to keep it out of her mind because the longer she focuses on it the worse it's going to get.
