overacts to every day situations, cries easily, not sleeping much or sleeping too much, loss of weight, gaining weight, not wanting to fun things anymore, doesn't take care of herself the way she used to, like if she used to always have her hair fixed nice and now doesn't care the list could go on and on, if she has been under alot of stress or had a traumatic experience it is possible she has a problem, or some people just have a tendency towards those sort of problems because of a chemical imbalance or something of that nature, if you are concerned if you are a true friend you should ask her if she is okay and what is going on with her lately, she might be relieved to have someone to talk to about these things

Honey, emotional problems aren't your responsibility to diagnose. However, if you're concerned and you think something's not right, here are a few areas where you as a friend have the right to speak up:
1. if she's abusive, verbally physically or mentally to others
2. if she makes choices that endanger her heath or wellbeing, like choosing to be in an abusive relationship, or taking drugs
3. if you fear she may cause herself or someone else physical harm
4. she hasn't left her room in 3 days, never wears anything but black and cries at the drop of a hat.
be sensitive, but let her know you care by offering yourself as someone to talk to, then be trustworthy and don't gossip about her. of course, don't suggest that you think she may have "emotional problems", but if you think she's struggling and really needs help, help her get it. Suggest a professional.

Thats a pretty generic term...do you mean mental illness? It is nothing to be ashamed of. If she is just having a hard time dealing with some stuff I would advise her to go to the Daily Strength website. It has a forum to talk about almost anything from mental illness to coming out of the closet to cancer support. Its a good website. Your friend can talk about what is troubling her there and people who are knoweledgeable can advise her or just listen. It is a super website.

Someone who is overly depressed, gloomy, has major mood swings, etc. may have "emotional problems". If your friend has had any major events in her life (i.e. a significant person's death, a parents divorce, etc.), she may be traumatized and be emotinal. There is really nothing you can do, except be her friend and love her.

If Ur talking depression. Sleeping a lot, loss of or greater appetite. Mood swings, crying, loss of interest in things, stop caring about Ur appearance, not talking as much, staying to your self. Look at www.medcinenet.com for medical terms and general help. i hope this helps you.
