For this project, I will help my best friend, who is 24 and suffers from a depressive disorder. We have been working on her depression for a long time now. She constantly feels sad. She has some days when she doesn’t even step out of bed. She gets distracted frequently and has concentration problems. Some days she only feels like crying; on other days, she can irritate easily or feel emptiness. All that led her to start arguing with her mom; she involved herself in strong arguments without reason, lost interest in everyday activities, and had nights of insomnia or excessive sleep during the day. We have been working on returning to her usual activities and handling her emotions in the best possible way through emotion-focused coping.
