How can i help someone deal with a mental illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For example,: Providing practical support, giving hope, reminding appointments and meds without forgetting everything else life can offer. Being there for them, not necessarily expecting to hear a symptom or a problem to be ready to offer your time and company. Understanding the limitations and being open to help the person dream and set goals. For example.
