really shitty it is, I feel fucking sorry for him.
Your mate may have schizophrenia. Not just depression. But he needs help man.
Nah he ain't schizophrenic or nothing like that, just suffers from crippling depression, he has therapy (both one on one and group) and it generally works for him but he just relapses every so often
