What can you do to assist someone who is dealing with a mental illness?
When someone suffers from a mental illness, they are going through a very challenging moment. However, as someone they care about, you can do everything you can to assist them. Listen to them without passing judgment, ask if they need assistance, reassure them with resources, accept their feelings, and discuss healthy well-being.
But keep in mind that you are not an expert, thus your options are limited. However, doing what you can go a long way toward demonstrating your concern.
