A member asked:

What's the doctor's recommendation to help my friend with depression and social anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Supportive: Be supportive and educate yourself about depression/anxiety. Encourage them to get treatment. Nami is a good support and educational resource for mental illness. They may be able to help find a support group for depression/anxiety in your area. Just knowing that they have someone that they can talk to can be good for them.
