I recently joined this site with the hopes that I could find ways to help my friend cope with his illness. He has psychotic depression, although he has been on meds for several years now, he was having a hard time. Monday, my friend tried to commit suicide, and is now in the hospital. He moved out of state and I have no way of being able to see him right now. I haven't talked to him since this happened and I am not sure when I will get to talk to him again. His mom was going to have him committed, so I have been told. She is planning on getting him into a place and then coming back home. She will not bring him back to our home state for some reason. From what I gather, she doesn't seem to understand his illness at all. He has very little support and I want to help any way that I can. Anybody have any ideas of how I can be supportive from so far away? I'm worried sick about him, and I don't know how I can, or if I can help.
