Can A Person With Depression Be Dangerous To Others?
My daughter has a very close friend who suffers from depression and migraines. This friend is under the care of a physician and takes medication. She has at one time thought of hurting herself and others. Is my daughter at risk with this friendship? We have known this girl since she was three and are very close to her. She is an extended member of our family.

Hello,
Depression is an illness in which the patient needs support of near and dear ones. The patients are usually not aggressive towards others. I suggest you to help her and be with her in this difficult time. And when she has tried to kill herself, your daughter should confide in with her and be supportive. If her treatment is continued regularly, she would recover.
Thanks.
