1) Sign up for therapist (talk therapy) and psychiatrist (med treatment)
2) Attend the scheduled appointments with above
3) Ask the therapist for homework to work on during the week.
4) Take the meds regularly if prescribed by psychiatrist.
5) Do what you are able to do in terms of self care like sleeping enough but not too much, exercising, eating balanced, healthy meals, trying to socialize online or IRL, find things of interest like reading or hobbies and participate when able.
Those are some ideas. Not everyone does all of those all of the time but even adding one more of those to your lifestyle could help improve the situation @CANDC

Thanks much for the detailed answer. If someone's in a bad enough condition that they are not able to do much, like, not able to even go to bed in time because it requires more discipline and energy than what they have left, not able to read, or do any other hobbies because that also takes more mental or physical energy than what they have, what's their responsibility if anything?
