In a recent Dear Abby column, a reader seeks advice on how to help her friend who is exhibiting signs of mental health issues. The reader’s friend believes she is being followed and that her husband is orchestrating situations to make her paranoid. Despite numerous suggestions to seek help from a therapist or pastor, the friend has been reluctant to address her issues. The reader is at a loss for how to help her friend, who is exhibiting paranoid and irrational behavior.
Dear Abby advises the reader to speak to the friend’s husband and encourage him to seek help for his wife, as she may be unable to do so herself. It is important for the friend to be evaluated by a doctor in order to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment. Seeking help for a loved one in this situation is not a betrayal, but rather a necessary step towards getting them the help they need.
For more advice on relationships and mental health, readers can contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or by mail at P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Dear Abby, originally founded by Pauline Phillips and currently written by Abigail Van Buren, offers guidance on a variety of personal and interpersonal issues.
