Listening to your friend is one thing being there for support is another. You will NOT be able to cure your family nor friends clinical disorder and whatever you do please DON'T say you understand when you haven't gone through it. Either at short, flexible or long periods of times your family or friend may push you away and there is NO quick fix to a recovery time.
Keep in touch with your family/friend at different times each day or every other day and when you speak with them please DO NOT ask how they're doing when you know they are suffering from say depression. In turn ask something on the lines of are things any better today then yesterday?
Sometimes letting them talk about things they wish to discuss is allowing them to get out the frustration/anger etc, etc that may be troubling them. In other cases if its say stress find out whats stressing them and work out solutions to put a plane in motion to ease that problem.
Find out things they like to do oppose to taking them places that you think is best. Stay alert to their behavior and seek immediate assistance if they're a danger/threat to themselves or others. In other cases; if they're overwhelmed keep them calm. Maybe step in take action do some chores, assist with the baby/children etc.
Just know that your NOT a doctor, therapist nor shrink if you will, but keep in mind:

NEVER QUESTION HOW MANY TIMES YOU BEEN THERE FOR A FRIEND OR HOW MANY MORE…. THERE’S A REASON YOUR IN THEIR PATH…AYISHA WALKER
A TRUE FRIEND DOESN’T TURN THEIR NOSE UP NOR LOOK DOWN ON ANOTHER FRIEND DURING DIFFICULT TIMES…REMEMBER YOU MIGHT JUST BE THAT SPECIAL FRIEND WHO CAN RESCUE THEM….AYISHA WALKER
