What's the best way I can help a friend with depression?

They've been depressed for as long as they remember and refuse to seek out professional help.

You can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves.

Just be there for support.

That's a really tough question because your friend doesn't want help. I guess you just keep being the friend you already have been. I think depression can be a very serious thing, and maybe you can speak to a professional yourself and ask him/her what you can do for your friend. If you think there's a chance your friend may try and harm himself, don't be afraid to call for help.
