A member asked:
What do you suggest if my girlfriend has a history with depression/anxiety/social problems.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can be : supportive and guide her to obtain help. If she's suicidal or threatening anything drastic, call 911, but other than that, she will have to initiate treatment if she is over 21. Self-help literature is sometimes very good (psychologytoday.com) but she has to be willing. Unless you are professionally trained, stay away from offering treatment.
