Report of research exploring the experience of friendship in relation to mental distress. Begins by examining the experience of being a friend of someone in mental distress, discussing the impact on the friendship and the support available for carers. Then goes on to consider the situation of the person in distress: whether they disclose to friends, the responses they receive and the support that friends can give. Ends by analysing the nature of friendship and makes policy and practice recommendations.
