Default How do you help a friend with depression?

A very close friend of mine is suffering from severe depression. I am trying to be there for him. At times he pushes me and others away. Sometimes it can be very frustrating. Please give some advice or feel free to share your stories on how you help a friend in need. ThanksThese are good answers, keep them coming. You see my concern is I want to be there for him, but I don't want to smoother him @ the same time. On the other hand I don't want him to feel i'm not there for him.
