Coursera has a Hopkins institute course called "Psychological First Aid" which is "aimed at first responders to provide a supportive presence, mitigate acute distress, and assess the need for further mental health care". Useful for dealing with when people are breaking down or having a mental health episode of some kind. More importantly it teaches you what _not_ to say, with nice role played examples.

Is this person on heated tobacco or vapes? I have seen people destroy their mental health with these things because they overload on nicotine without realizing it.

I'll check this out, thank you. No, this person just has a poor diet and patterns, depression, and severe learned helplessness (my diagnoses).
