Answer:

Tell her to be careful not to take too much.

Explanation:

Sleeping nights can cripple your productivity during the day - and sometimes for several days. No wonder many people resort to medicines after a night or two without nailing their eyes - and the solution is often already at home.

But not every kind of medicine that helps you fall asleep is the same, and a very popular type among insomniacs - flu remedies - may not be the best solution.

Flu remedies often help you fall asleep because they often contain antihistamines that cause slight sedation. It's okay to use these drugs for a few days to deal with symptoms of insomnia, but if they are prolonged, there are very serious consequences. So if a friend of yours is taking flu sleeping pills, tell her to be careful not to take too much.

Describe two things that you could do to help a friend with depression
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Become informed

Not totally sure what depression is or what it means for your friend? A really great first step in helping your friend is to find out more about depression - which will help you better understand what they’re going through.

2. Be there to listen

If your friend feels like talking, ask them how they’re going. Try asking questions like, “What can I do to help?” and “What do you find helpful?” When you want to bring up a sensitive issue with a friend, try to choose a time and place when you’re both comfortable and relaxed. It’s a good idea to avoid talking to them about it if they’re upset.

3. Take their feelings seriously

If someone is suffering from symptoms of depression, it isn’t possible for them just to ‘snap out of it’, ‘cheer up’ or ‘forget about it’. When you listen to them and validate their feelings by saying things like ‘That must be really hard’ or ‘I’m here when you want to talk’, they’ll know you’re taking their feelings seriously.

4. Let them know about support services

If your friend has already seen a GP or mental health professional, that’s awesome. You could let them know there are also online and email counselling services. You could also recommend the Reach Out Next Step tool, which recommends relevant support options based on what the person wants help with.

5. Respond to emergencies

If you think your friend may be in danger or at risk of hurting themselves or someone else, seek help immediately. Call 000 to reach emergency services and also tell someone you trust.

6. Take care of yourself
