Depression and Suicidal Behaviour

2018-05-25 08:45:38
My friend told me that he has Suicidal thoughta and deep depression. He says it is because of the medication he took for acne, isotorin or sth. Knowing some of his past, I feel like it may not be just the medication. I have insisted him several times to see a psychiatrist. He is not at all agreeing. How do I bring him to a clinic?

I think you can suggest your friend to meet a psychologist to understand himself better. Probably, by counselling he might get to know himself.
