What Is The Treatment For Depression?

Hi there! My friend is being very stupid and terrible towards her health. She eats barley anything from suffering bulimia and has coughed blood 4 times in the last 2 weeks. She also has continues nose bleeds which occur often. She has fainted, been light headed and incredibly weak. I know she suffers from some sort of depression in which she cuts her wrists, hipbones and thighs. She will not let me take her to any health care professional and would rather die than go now. Please please please help!

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In that case, you need immediate emergency treatment. Better to get her admitted in a hospital and consult a psychiatrist. That would help to control her symptoms. You can also take help of police to bring her hospital. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
