By JUST BRENDAMore by this AuthorHi Brenda,I have a friend who is suicidal. I feel like it is something else, again, that I cannot possibly help him with, and that depresses me. Dear Harried Harry,AdvertisementIt can be very emotionally draining to be the support system for a person whose mental health also needs help. You are not equipped to give him the help he needs, just like how you cannot prescribe medications to him, or perform surgery on his hypothetical leg. You must get him the professional help he needs, and encourage him on the path to managing his sickness, just like you would for any other illness.
