Be a friend: Don't try doing amateur psychotherapy. A few hours talking with someone who's actually skilled at this can turn their life around -- if they're brave enough to try. Mention once, "Have you thought of talking with your family doctor about this?" How they answer doesn't matter. Don't bring it up again.
