Imagine that a person was feeling depressed and thought their life was meaningless. Would an existentialist want that person to remain depressed about the meaninglessness of life?

Existentialists often argue that life does not come with a predetermined meaning, but people can create meaning through their choices and actions. So an existentialist might understand the person’s feelings without encouraging them to remain depressed. The best choice is “No, the existentialist would understand but think that the person should find meaning.”
