I'm pretty sure my boyfriend of over 3 months is depressed and over the past month I have realized I'm depressed. Is it normal? We haven't talked about it at all. Should I ask him about it? Try to help him? What do I do?

    It sounds pretty normal since depression is the most common mental disorder out there.

    It's normal. Yes, you should bring it up and maybe you each can see a therapist. I'd do individual therapy since it's not a couples issues you're dealing with. You're each individually depressed. I'm sorry to hear it and I hope things look up for both of you in the future.

    Yes, ask him about it. Talk about it, don't make it something that can't be mentioned.
