Hi! According to symptoms, it seems that your friend is suffering from globus pharyngeus which occurs due acid reflux into throat and yes some psychological factors are also associated with it. So usually we prescribe antacids along with anti anxiety drugs. It will be better if you can take your friend to ENT specialist for throat endoscopy that will confirm the diagnosis.
