Any ideas?

And for the record, I'm asking for a friend of mine.

[ that's only half true. ]

What do you mean "in robots?" We're the same as anyone else.

You can't "cure" depression, either.

[yurikathesecond]

Okay then, how do you help depression, dumbass?

Be supportive. Get them to a mental health expert. If it's a machine, see if there's any kind of engineering aspect to the problem. No matter the make or model, it's just like an organic brain... there's sometimes an underlying, fundamental reason behind it.

I'll see about it. Not sure how well she'll respond to professional help, but we can try it.

[not_rusted_yet]

Hrm.

Look. I'm a doctor. Maybe I can help.

[yurikathesecond]

I'll see what she thinks. If it gets bad enough I'll drag her over to you.

[not_rusted_yet]

Hrn. If this is a hardware problem, you really shouldn't be waiting around.
