This study examines the meaning of family support for depressed students. Data is collected by interviewing a depressed student and the parents. Depression makes individuals helpless, lonely, and empty, especially due to past injuries and their implications. The results show that people have self-motivation to survive and struggle to escape depression. Stretching the struggle of depressed people can be similar to a metamorphosis process that changes the meaning of loneliness and helplessness into academic superiority.
