<human>: Good morning Reddit,

Yesterday, one of my best friends admitted to me that for a while now he has been suffering through depression. I told him that I'm glad he told me and that no one should be going through that alone and I offered to lend an ear to him.

Right away he shot me down and gave me an excuse along the lines of "I'm strong enough to get through this on my own" and "why should I burden you with my issues?"

Reddit, how do I approach this? Should I keep on him? Should I search the internet for a therapist that takes our insurance (we are coworkers) and give it to him?

I don't think I should just brush it off and leave it alone. I assume his telling me is a cry for help?

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: A good friend of mine told me he is depressed and is now pushing away any time I try to talk with him about it.
