I have a family member who suffers from depression, but refuses to admit it or seek treatment. How do I help him?

i am depressed and i dont know why? how can i get out of depression

I did just this after 3 years of depression. My depression culminated in an attempted suicide at age 10. The modern view in medicine is that suicide is a consequence of failing to cope with "depression". There is plenty of information regards this topic online, but hardly any on how a person can overcome depression without medical help, this is why i want to know what you think is a persons reason/s for leaving depression behind without medical help. Thanks.

I know that I am depressed and have a bad body image/low-self esteem (due to the past). My boyfriend knows it as well and it really bothers him. He wants to help but doesn't know what to do and gets really frustrated and angry with me. What can I tell him to do to help me out? Is there anything that he can do to help me deal with it? What kind of tips would you give to another to help one deal with depression? Please help, this is tearing my relationship apart.
