The most important thing you can do for a family member or friend who is depressed is to help him or her get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment. This may involve encouraging him or her to stay with treatment until symptoms begin to abate. On occasion, it may require making an appointment and accompanying your loved one to the doctor. It may also mean monitoring whether he is taking medication. Encourage your friend to obey the doctor’s orders about the use of alcoholic products while on medication. The second most important thing is to offer emotional support. This involves understanding, patience, affection, and encouragement. Do not despise feelings expressed, but point out realities and offer hope. Do not ignore remarks about suicide. Report them to your friend’s therapist. Invite your friend for walks, outings, to the movies, and other activities. Be gently insistent if your invitation is refused. Encourage participation in some activities that once gave the person pleasure, such as hobbies, sports, religious or cultural activities, but do not push him to undertake too much too soon. Do not accuse your friend of faking illness or of laziness, or expect him "to snap out of it". Eventually, with treatment, most people do get better. Keep that in mind, and keep reassuring him that, with time and help, he will feel better.
If you’re unsure where to go for help, check the Yellow Pages under "mental health", "health", "social services", "suicide prevention". You can also click the Web sites listed on the right. People and places that will make referrals to, or provide, diagnostic and treatment services include: family doctors, community mental health centers, university -- or medical school -- affiliated programs, and local medical or psychiatric societies. In times of crisis, the emergency room doctor at a hospital may be able to provide temporary help for an emotional problem, and will be able to tell you where and how to get further help.
What does the word "abate" (Line 3, Para. 1) most likely mean?
选项
A、Stop.
B、Increase.
C、Decrease.
D、Worsen.
答案
C
解析
本题为词汇题。根据上下文,该词所在句的意思是“不断鼓励他(她)坚持治疗,直到病症开始减少”,所以这里的abate应是“减少”之意,C为正确答案。
