Can You Give Me Some Information on Depression?
Question by TOmmie: Can you give me some information on depression?
Someone I know has been diagnosed with some sort of Depression disorder. She tried to kill herself by taking a lot of pills. She said she didn’t want to live anymore. She was then admitted to a hospital, and was asked to stay for 72 hours for psychiatric help, she didn’t stay though. Should she of? Today she started crying and breaking down, saying that she didn’t want to stay 72 hours because she wasn’t crazy. Can anyone give me advice on this disorder, like how to help this person and such?
