I would help a depress person to find an online mental health related forum or blog with professionals who offer free profession advice on dealing with depression. I am not very knowledgeable on Depression, so I feel getting expert's opinion on mental health could be more useful.

I don't have any knowledge on how to help someone who's depressed. I don't think telling them to do what's going to make them happy is enough to help them in their mental health situation. Handling depression is above my pay grade.
