Listen and be a friend.

There’s prescription medication for those who need it. We never should abuse the use of it because it could do us harm.
That’s what my friend, who’s now a doctor, told us when we met him over lunch last week. We talked about our lives and then the discussion turned to the Hollywood and local celebrities and their well publicized abuse of medication. My friend thinks that if someone close to a person sees a sign of depression or any psychological problem in him/her, then something should be done right away. Offer help, guidance. Offer your support. Listen and be a friend. Even a smile can do wonders to a person who’s feeling down and out.
And hopefully, abuse can be diverted to something good.
