Hello dear
I can understand what your friend might be going through. He might be having fear of many things even if they are small. Finding reasons of feeling sad or might be overthinking of negative scenarios of a situation.
Don't worry. Take him to a good therapist or a psychologist for consultation.
You can also contact me for him. I will help him towards his recovery. Let him have a discussion with me so that he can further get towards his solutions.
Take care and stay safe. It's good that you care about your friend and thought of seeking out help for his recovery. Everything will be alright.
