When you say SAD you mean social anxiety disorder? I suffer that badly my self so I can totally understand what your friend is going through and probably deals with everyday. If that's what you mean anyways... Its a difficult thing cause alot of people don't understand it at all. I've had people tell me to "get over it" .. yah.. that will work why didn't I think of that , right? Only advice I can think of is just be there for them . It's good to have somebody on your side when ya feel alone and dealing with this disorder can make ya feel very alone.

thank u

do u hear the kindness? suggest u work in charity org or hospitals peripherally that u can work into and find ways of helping even small stuff........good expeerience, peole get to konw u and u will connect with others.........ur senstive in a good way.........and feel the strong personaliies of others.........try not to let that bother u........ur an empath. and just find a niche and yhour confidence will sllowly develop ...i find the librARY and tohers places and gentler people more tro my taste and dont waste my time taking onthe abusive people..............

ur young........your coinfidence will come......trying choirs or theatre or i personally would work in restaurants as gives me lots of people expereince as teaching helped me gain experence.........a museum or zoo...........etc............anywhere to slowly gain expernce and dont judge yoru self for being a feeling person

SAD in this case , which i dint define...........is Seasonal Affective Disorder..........but ..............again...............please reREAD the thought of your message............u werent hurtful or judging...............u wer supportive and kind and felt for this person...............thats the lesson or moral of the lesson.................

your heart was inthe right place............hang on to that......

There are special lights sold for SAD. Many people swear by them. Getting outside whenever there is sun helps, taking 4,000 mg of vit D, go to a tanning bed for 5 min each time.

Yes. It’s medicalLike when horses get viruses or colic or

No one ever says it’s in their head or they are making excuses or if they had bad kidneys or vit deficiencies

Or iron deficiency

Why so hard on people

Just don’t get it

When horses or dog get depressed we never say they havd a mental illness. Bd ludticrous

So doctors should wise up

Drorrsion is suffering not a mental illness

We know that

My friend suffers in silence. Never. Nevef gets a break. Like this black dog as Churchill used to say and other. Any chronic is sooo exhausting and on top of that

No one taking care of this person m

Her family is worse than no support

They are hard on this person

Sooooo wrong

So sorry to here that.Maybe have your friend join HealthUnlocked.
