Administrative discharge under honorable conditions is just fine.

Somatoform disorders depressive mood disorders and anxiety disorders are all disqualifying for entry into the Navy. You do not have sufficient service completed for it to be service aggravated. So, they will prepare a medical board report which will recommend your discharge for a pre-existing medical condition in compliance with BUMED Instruction 1910.2 Series. You will be receiving a general discharge under honorable conditions. The VA may treat you for the somatoform disorder. However the others are considered to be personality disorders which do no lend themselves to resolution through treatment. So, the VA has been prohibited by law from treating those since 1981. The source below is the medical standard which covers your mental health problems and the somatoform disorder.

It's a lot better if it is honorable. The other thing is that some jobs are going to ask how long you served, and the dates. If you say or list 2 1/2 years, or anything out of the ordinary they are going to have a few questions to ask.
It's not like a dishonorable which is basically going to have your application tossed into the trash right away.

It isn't exactly a good way to leave but it in no way hurts you. It could be anything from medical to discipline problems. After 6 months of getting out you can apply for an honorable discharge. The main thing it affects is your re-enlistment code. They might not let you come back in or join the reserves with an admin discharge. It in no way hurts your chance of working, but could affect your GI bill. I think your friend will be fine.
After you get out of the navy the next thing is to get a job and start your life without the military. It is scary for the first couple months but after awhile you get the hang of it and things turn out ok. It is great not having to go out to sea all the time.
My advice to you is to make the best of it and don't be stupid.

By law, you LOSE your GI Bill if you get anything but a full honorable discharge.
You still have work options, just less than you would with an honorable. Let's face it, we all know complete dirtbags with honorables.
Many employers don't ask about discharges and don't care. Many applicants just lie and hope not to be checked.

If the guy highering was in the military, for get it. Other than that most people do not know what a general discharge is.

Either dont join or if you do, get an honorable discharge.
Mine says,"honorable discharge,expiration of term of service."I don't have to try to explain a thing.

Admin discharges are not that bad. It should not affect their ability to find work (like a dishonorable would).
