Depression is real, it is a horrible feeling, you just feel so sad and not everyone can easily move on from it, which is why some people commit suicide... Two things are common to cause depression.

Heartbreak
Losing money or assets
The former has led to the death of many people, recently I shared a post of how my nephew tried to kill himself but was rescued and how a cousin shared the story of a man who killed himself because of a lady, probably he has invested a lot on the girl and already relied on her to be his life partner but it didn't happen as expected, the memory and everything taunt him until he killed himself.
The latter is another element of depression, who will lose his hard-earned money or any big money and not fall into depression, especially when you lose all your life savings, it might even lead to a heart attack which could lead to one's death immediately.
There is a way to solve the depressed state of mind, and one solution I find effective is not to be alone, stay with people, family or friends so they can easily help you to forget about that thing causing heartache making you depressed.
A former coursemate of mine earned some money from trading Trump and after he sold, he was pushed by degen spirit to put the money on future trade and he lost it all, He called me today if I was around and I told him I was just about to start going to school so I had to wait for him and we left for my school together and we gisted along the way.

He stayed with us even during lectures, he was supposed to be in his new school but he kinda finds comfort with us instead cos we were three, so even after lectures, he told us to stick around and not to go home yet which made me left school so late today but I understand how he feels and I have been in that position.
When I was heartbroken years back, I was depressed for more than 2 years but suicide never comes to mind, instead I just focused more on work and worked harder than you can imagine, then it happened again when I lost a huge amount to bitcoin crash, that one sends me to an awful depressed state but guess what? I was not alone, my friends and I were depressed together but one day while one of my friends and I were comforting one another for the loss, I told him, We made it once, we can make it again, that was how I put everything behind and yea we eventually made it again and it was even triple what we lost.
So if you have a friend who is depressed and needs you around, please stay with them and comfort them, you might be saving a life that way
