In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't just think of depression as "feeling down." Instead, stress that depression is a treatable, medical condition. Hearing this from someone she trusts can help empower your girlfriend to get help. If you don't know whether your girlfriend's depression is episodic or chronic, encourage her to see a doctor so she can get the kind of care she needs. Remind her to separate herself from the depression. For example, if she says things like "I"m depressed." Help her reframe it by saying, "No, Cindy, you are someone who has depression. You are a kind, beautiful person who feels and experiences depression." Even if your girlfriend wants to get help for long-term or serious depression, her condition can make actually doing so difficult. There are many ways that you can help her connect to therapy and other kinds of help. For instance: Offer to help her research different kinds of counseling, therapy, and medical treatments. Listen to her thoughts, concerns, and questions about these treatments. Offer to go with her to the doctor or counseling sessions. If she is working with a therapist she doesn't seem to connect with, encourage her to find a new one. Once your girlfriend begins treatment for long-term depression, it's crucial that she sticks with it. Since you're in a relationship with her, you're in a position to help hold her accountable. Try things like: Creating a schedule to make sure she takes any medications her doctor prescribed. Offer to give reminders about when to take it, or to ask her if she did. Mark therapy appointments on a common calendar. Continue to ask her how she feels. Resist the urge to be her sole source of social support, which can create an unhealthy relationship dynamic. Not only that, it's unfair for both of you. Instead, help her seek out groups that can help her connect with others who've shared a similar experience. Check out NAMI.org, Mental Health America, or the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance at http://www.dbsalliance.org/. Each of these resources has listings of support groups online and in real life. Depression can take its toll on a relationship. If you and your girlfriend feel like the issue is causing problems in yours, you can try couples or relationship counseling. Behavioral Couple Therapy, for instance, is a developing form of counseling that can help couples learn to care for each other and reduce conflict. Even if your girlfriend is undergoing treatment for her depression, she may be at risk of harming herself or others. If you see any of these warning signs, seek medical assistance immediately: Changes in behavior that last more than a few weeks (like avoiding friends or activities, changes in sleep habits, or abusing drugs or alcohol) Mentioning death or killing herself Seeming to prepare for death (giving things away, talking about saying good-bye to people, etc.)
Summary: Encourage her to think of depression as a medical issue. Help her seek counseling or therapy. Help her stay accountable for treatment. Encourage her to participate in support groups. Offer to try Behavioral Couple Therapy (BCT). Recognize the signs of a serious problem.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If the noun you are referring to is near to you, either physically or figuratively, you can replace it with these. I'm holding three chocolate bars. Do you want all of these? (These replaces chocolate bars.) Would you like to borrow some books? Here, take these. (These replaces books.) These are so beautiful! Thank you for the flowers. (These replaces flowers.) This and these are both used to refer to something that is closer to the speaker. You can use these to draw particular attention to items. These books on the shelf belong to Rajeev. [The books are near the speaker.] Look at all these bracelets on my wrist! [The bracelets are on the speaker's wrist, so they're nearby.] Who put these cupcakes in the refrigerator? [Presumably, the speaker is close to the cupcakes.] This and these are also used to express figurative distances, particularly distances having to do with time. Use these when something is happening in the present, has happened in the recent past, or will happen in the near future. These shows I've been watching are absolutely extraordinary. [The shows have been watched in the recent past.] Have you seen these letters to the editor in today's news? [The letters have been published in today's newspaper.] Why don't you take these books with you when you go? [The books will be taken by the other person in the near future.] If you are introducing more than one person to someone else, you can use these to begin your sentence. For example: "These are my classmates, Sean and Adrienne." However, in English we do not use these to refer directly to people: "These are Sean and Adrienne" is incorrect. Instead, you would say "This is Sean and this is Adrienne." If introducing yourself, as when answering the phone, use this: "Hello, this is Chang."
Summary:
Use these to replace nouns that are nearby in space and time. Use these to refer to something that is physically nearby. Use these to describe when something is figuratively nearby. Use these to introduce people to others.
