original_response: Oh wow that must have been challenging for them because these disorders can really impair ones ability to personally function. They have patterns but you really are not able to know something until you can identify what you are dealing with
history: I have a friend that seems to be having some emotional issues with finding out that her brother has cancer. I wonder if seeing a psychologist would help? That's not good. I can't confirm it will help but a psychologist deals with mental health and mental processes Yes, I feel really bad for her, and I believe it is a kind that runs in the family, and the doctor said the siblings should check for themselves. She is really troubled by it, a psychologist may help with that part. I see, a professional for mental health offers services that have the purpose to improve mental health of an individual or treat disorders It sounds like she should definitely check into it. We live in a small town and I'm not sure how much availability there is for a psychologists, but I think it would be helpful. Yeah, it is important to notice that mental disorders typically are defined by how one behaves, perceives, thinks or feels Yes, traumatic events can sometimes elevate any underlying issues. I had a close person that was bipolar and they never sought help from a psychologist and they struggled so much, I think it would have helped them.
