Can you get him or her a life coach? Therapy would also help with the depression and get to the root of the problem. Good luck!

Therapy. Career coach. Exercise. Possibly CBD oil ; have him/her ask his/her health care provider.

Talk to her .. she might not recognize the symptoms. She needs to be surrounded by people she trusts and loves and she needs a therapist to confide in and determine if she needs help or anything else

Thanks for the suggestions! Hadn’t thought of a career coach but am going to try to bring that up this weekend
