If you need to be seen by a mental health physician and you've never seen one before, it takes a very long time to get in as a new patient. We've got a mental health crisis in this country, and it's been that way for a lot of years. It would be a good idea to start looking into mental health hospitals. Your friend would need to check if they take his insurance. He might have to travel to find the right facility. I hope your friend gets the help he needs soon. I know what it's like to feel the way he does. A lot of people don't realize how hard depression is on a person. You can get to the point where you don't even want to get out of bed. It's as debilitating as a physical ailment.
