    Default Having a relationship with a depressed guy

    My sister confided to me that she really like this guy. He's sweet, caring, and intelligent, but he has been diagnosed with depression months ago. My sister doesn't know if she should start a relationship with him. She's not sure if she's strong enough to face his mental health issues. Any advice?

    not worth it
    just imagine what he will go through if she ever breaks up with him, he might even take his own life away due to depression
    or any little argument that will lead to them not talking for a couple of days

    she needs to find something better

    My sister thinks she can help him. What should be my approach to convince her that there are other men out there and she can help both of them to avoid the heartache?

    Not worth it.

    My sister said that they are going to try counseling with Regain. If she sees progress, she will help him with his recovery. If she feels that it's hopeless, they need to move on from one another.

    This kind of stuff has the potential to be very draining on her well-being and I don't believe it's worth the long-term consequences. Even if she feels she can offer help, she'd probably be far more happier if she can find someone who is not carrying around such weight at the initiation of a relationship.

    He should work on himself before getting in a relationship.

    Highly intelligent people usually are depressed or have some mental disorder.
