How to help someone with mental health issues?

When my anxiety was at its peak, even getting out of bed was hard. Help them with small things like ordering groceries or washing dishes. Making their environment slightly easier to live in really reduces the mental load.

The most responsible thing you can do is help them connect with a qualified clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. Don't rely on self-help books or casual advice, professional therapy is crucial for proper recovery.

Just remind them of how strong they are and that this difficult phase will pass! ✨ Sending them funny memes or a sweet voice note can bring a little smile to their face when they need it most. 🌸

You don't need to have all the answers. Just letting them know that you are in their corner and that they don't have to go through this alone is enough.

Therapy can get very expensive, so you can help them research government hospitals or NGOs that offer free or subsidized counseling sessions. Planning a budget for sessions and medications can take a huge financial worry off their minds.

Sometimes comfort food like warm paranthas or a hot bowl of soup can make a bad day slightly more bearable. Don't worry about diets too much during hard times, just feed them what makes their soul happy and sit with them.
