INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It can take a long time to recover, and some people may be living with mental illness for their entire life. Allow your loved one time to adjust to therapy, medication, or other treatments. Do not expect them to immediately improve. You can tell your loved one, "I know that you need time and space. Let me know when you need me." If your loved one ever approaches you with a problem, sit down and talk to them again. Listen to their worries, and take their concerns seriously. By actually fulfilling your promise to be there for them, you will be helping them more than you know. If they ask you to talk, you can say, "Of course. I am always here for you." If your loved one needs to talk during a time that is bad for you, you might ask, "Is everything ok? Do you need to talk now or can I call you after work?" A simple text message, email, or phone call can mean the world to someone. Even if they are reluctant to respond, keep trying to reach out to your loved one. You might send a text message that says, "How are you today?" Sending an email or private message on social media can show that you care. You might say, "Hey, I've been thinking about you lately. What's up?" If they live far away, arrange video calls or phone dates so that you can chat. Caring for a loved one with mental illness can be a big burden. It is important you care for your own physical and mental health. This will also benefit your loved one as it will ensure that you have the energy and capability to be there for them. Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and sleeping seven to nine hours a day can go a long way in reducing your own stress. If your loved one shows signs of suicide, substance abuse, or anti-social behavior, you might need to get outside help. Stay in touch with them, and watch for any troubling signs that their mental illness has worsened. If your loved one mentions that they want to die, they may be suicidal. Other common warning signs include statements like, "I just want it all to end," "the world would be better without me," "I wish I hadn't been born," or "I'd be better off dead than alive." If they are withdrawing from their normal activities, it might be a sign that they need more help. Similarly, an increase in alcohol or drug use may indicate that their problem is worsening. A sudden sense of calm after a long depressive episode may indicate that they have decided to take their life. If they are threatening to hurt themselves or others, call 911 immediately.

SUMMARY: Give them time. Talk when they need it. Check in periodically. Take care of yourself. Look for warning signs.
