Explanation:
Harper Lee's most famous novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" revolves around the lives of the Finches in Maycomb, ALabama. The racist attitude that still seems to persist among the people became one of the main themes of the story.
The character of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch is the little daughter of the lawyer Atticus Finch. She also is the main voice from which the whole narrative of the story is told. Scout referenced the "mockingbird" in chapter 10 when she asked Miss Maudie why they shouldn't shoot mockingbirds. She then told them that mockingbirds do nothing except make music for the enjoyment of the humans. It can be a representation of innocence in itself and so, to kill a mockingbird is to kill innocence.
Then again, Scout used another reference of the mockingbird in chapter 30 for Boo Radley when he was accused of killing Mr. Ewell. When Atticus wanted to claim that Jem did it in self-defense, Heck's opinion was that Mr. Ewell killed himself. This was supported by Scout, who states that letting Boo or Jem be convicted will be like killing a mockingbird.
Thus, Scout's reference to the mockingbird suggests she
understand the unfairness of the legal system.
has developed deeper empathy.
has come to understand that what is legal isn't necessarily what is right.

Answer:
I would suggest encouraging them to seek out a psychologist. Whatever happens, make sure that you talk to this individual about their mental illness in a way that lets them know they are valid, that you understand their pain, and that they are NOT crazy or insane. If they need to talk, don't shut them down or invalidate their feelings in any way, such as saying "everyone feels like that at some point or another." Although that kind of comment may seem comforting to you, it makes the individual feel misunderstood and hurt. And if they don't want to talk, don't force them, but make sure they know that it is safe to talk to you, and you will not judge them or condemn them in any way. Let this person know you care about them. Good luck, and as a person with a mental illness, feel free to DM me if you have any further questions throughout the process.
