Which of the following is not one three ways you can help someone who displays signs mental or emotional problems?

A. Give advice when asked

B. Don't criticize the person

C. Offer to seek some kind of professional help

D. Listen and be supportive

The correct answer is A. Give advice when asked

While listening, being supportive, and offering to help someone seek professional help are all great ways to help someone with mental or emotional problems, giving advice when asked is not always the most helpful. Sometimes, people just want someone to listen to them and be there for them, without feeling like they need to solve their problems.
