Speaking with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts earlier today about her soon-to-be-released new book, Destiny's Child alum Michelle Williams shared an encouraging message for those who might be struggling with depression but are afraid to seek help.

Making a decision is very difficult. Whether it’s where to eat, what movie to see, or just what to do today, you can’t make a decision. That’s because your brain feels nothing about things either way—positive or negative.

Try not to assess your friends as if they are therapists—they are not. They’re just regular humans who love you. They have no idea how to handle this. But you can’t decide they’re suddenly bad friends just because they don’t know how to help someone with depression.
