Dear Amy: I have a friend who is going through a really rough patch in her life; she’s facing possible divorce. She’s in therapy and marriage counseling, but she’s experiencing sadness and mental anguish, and is worried about the future. She claims she’s not suffering from depression, but I’m not so sure. As her friend I’m trying to be supportive and understanding; I listen to her, try not to give advice, but instead just be supportive and remind her that she has friends and family who love her and will stand by her no matter what. I try and remind her of the joys in life and encourage her to take a mental break now and then.
