Work together: Depression and eating disorder cause indecision and immobility. Reluctance to seek help is the rule rather than the exception. As a friend, your influence and support can add to her family and doctor's efforts to save your friend's life. The key is to work together. Communicate frequently and openly with everyone who is trying to help.
