I don't understand how someone can get sad for no reason. Like without them thinking about something sad or something bad happening to them, How can you get sad for no reason? And how can I help my friend feel better? He says he doesn't like talking about it but when I try to steer the conversation away from how he's feeling he's unresponsive and seems sad. What can I do to make him feel better when I don't know what the problem is?
