Depression profoundly impacts social relationships by causing withdrawal and isolation. People with depression often withdraw from friends and may go months without interacting with anyone beyond their immediate family or colleagues. Moreover, close relationships suffer due to increased conflict and the feeling of not meeting others' expectations. Depression can make individuals passive, leading to them being taken advantage of and experiencing additional stress, thus fueling their depression further. Research highlights the importance of strong social support networks in depression recovery and preventing future episodes. To improve social support, one must evaluate their current social network, envisioning it as concentric circles with themselves at the center: Closest friends and intimate relationships; Other friends with whom some personal information is shared; Acquaintances, like coworkers or neighbors, with whom polite interactions occur; and Familiar faces, recognized but lacking a strong connection. Recognize that a gap between the actual and ideal network is common, even without depression. The aim is not to achieve a perfect match but to lessen the difference. Even if depression makes someone believe they want no social connections, it's usually the depression talking, and building a supportive social network remains vital for recovery and overall well-being.
