I have a Japanese friend that is struggling with mental health issues (seems to be mostly depression and anxiety) however I am struggling to convince them to seek professional assistance because of they don’t feel it will help and also the feel like it’s some type of stigma associated with seeking mental health assistance.
Does anyone have any recommendations of mental health professional’s that could possibly make their first visit “as painless as possible?” Also, what advice would you have to help convince a person that they should seek help, it’s been an uphill battle to say the least at this point and I feel like I’m running out of options.
Thanks
