He has been diagnosed with kind of mental problem which had him to consult to psychologist since 2011 to now 2018. He had been in the worst stage of his sickness as he had to consume 15 pills per day to control his brain. He's my best friend and he didn't even tell me what he's suffering from as the doctor and his family even not open up either with me or him and just hide it. He has been into several suicidal attempts that caused her mom really really sick. I saw nothing is wrong with my bestie but why he had to go through this? What actually he suffers from? Once I saw the receipt for the medicine he has to consume it only says anxiety disorder like I'm confused, is there any severe anxiety disorder?? What kind of brain disease is this? His mom told me that he couldn't manage worries and panic in big things like exams. He could not handle problems or challenge of life? Is there any cure from him? What should I do as bestie? He told me that due to his pills that he had consumed years and years caused problems to his stomach. Is there any way to stop him from this pills consumption? I guess he's alright but why did his parents told me that he is not. I really want to know the truth.

no one here can say what your friend was suffering from, none of us are professional doctors or anything

what I can say is their are anxiety disorders (such as generalised anxiety disorder), but I imagine, since you said 15 pills per day, their could be something else too- but honestly it's hard to say.

mental health is such a wide spectrum and their is so much that can affect the brain. the term mental health is very general. their are mood disorders, personality disorders, loads of stuff

as for why you wern't told perhaps your friend thought they could handle it by themselves, and they didn't want to tell you in case you didn't know how to take it

if you want to help the best thing you can do is just ask if their's anything that he wants to talk about, and support him through treatment. just tell him you're here to listen when ever he's ready to tell you

What it means by something else?
Sometimes I'm confused
How to make him understand
If they didn't feel like to tell me it makes me scared
Is he normal like I can trust him
If they didn't explain how do I expect he's ok
Like I'm scared, is he ok and not crazy??
What other possibility he might have??
I don't know how to behave towards him now

You seem like you love and care for your friend so much. That is such a wonderful thing. Just let him know you care and are there for him.
Almost no one in my life is aware of my problems. You wonder why he has not confided in you. It is probably because he has shame and is afraid to share it. It has nothing to do with you.
You ask if you can trust him. I'm sure you can. I'm still a trustworthy friend even though I'm not comfortable sharing my problems with everyone.
It didn't sound like he's 'crazy'. It sounds like he's in a lot of pain and frustration. Her needs a friend that cares like you do.
If you saw that he has anxiety disorder, then read about it to get a better understanding of it.
There is nothing you can do but just continue to be his best friend. I'm glad he has you.

I'm sure you can trust him.

their is a lot of stigma around this type of thing. he's probably just scared to say

by something else, I meant another illness

so, anxiety and another one.

as for other possibilities does his moods change? (like one moment he's happy, then he's sad?)

he could have a mood disorder

he could just have severe depression (which is where he's not really interested in anything and has no motivation, and this does also lead to suicide attempts)

keep us posted on how he is

I don't like the way he's saying himself as failure
He failed in some great university entrance because he couldn't handle big problem or life challenge or I could say he could not handle stress or make decision
In some points he is very smart especially in his study
But he failed cause at that time he attempted to suicide just because homesick
He was a bright student and I guess he has difficulty or has high stress to keep his excellence in study and work
He kept saying he's a failure because his brother and sister got higher degree and great jobs
Why he failed to reach it all and just stay as worker which the salary is nothing compared to his sister or brother as he couldn't maintain himself on great things because he'll get stress and he couldn't control his stress

He's my bestie I really love him as I don't want him to go under stress and pain
But I don't know I find myself not capable to understand him enough
Because I guess I self diagnosed myself that maybe I had BPD
I felt myself a bit changed as I have known myself
I really don't want to make him down but myself too can't defeat this BPD
I became more selfish person I guess
