F/U recommendations!: So sorry u had to go thru such a difficult experience, but i'm so glad ur friend has such a good friend 2! at the er, they probably conducted a psychiatric assessment and made arrangement for psychiatric & therapy follow up... The next step is to follow up on such recommendations and keep faith & hope in the healing process. Keep ur encouraging, supportive & loving stance! take care of urself too!
