Ishani the reasons shared by you about your friend, being afraid of death is very common. Some fears for death are healthy because it makes us cautious about certain things. But it seems she fear for death has consumed her thoughts and she is unable to take minor decisions about day to day activities. We suggest your friend should visit trained health professional for advice.
