Need some advice with a friend undergoing depression
For starters I'm originally putting this in S7 because this group is generally more mature.
Anyway, I have a friend, lets call her Rachael . Rachael is seeing a depression counsellor because she's depressed, obviously.
For a slight bit of back story, Rachael was raped a couple months ago, and it's obviously the ultimate root of her depression.
Anyway, she has said that she doesn't want to tell this counsellor about it because she's afraid that if she does it will go to the police, and she doesn't want to let her family find out and be upest (at least that's what she says why she doesn't want to)
But, if the fact that she was raped is what's making her depressed, and she isn't telling the councillor why she is depressed, then would the councillor still be able to "cure" the depression?

No. You can't treat depression effectively without treating the cause. I don't understand why she doesn't want the police or her family to find out. The police could arrest whoever did it, and her family could help her cope. She needs to be honest with everyone if she really wants to get better.
