Basically - for depression, I had to give them something that they could imagine in a realistic way. I would ask them if they had someone or a pet they loved dearly? Then I would say - ok, now imagine that person/pet died unexpectedly - on that same day you also had your car stolen, you lost your job, and you were evicted. Now you have nowhere to go, no way to find a place, and nobody to turn to - how do you feel? what do you do? Imagine that being your life for months or years and there was nothing you could do to change it, everytime you tried and came close...it all fell apart again. That's depression.
