Answer 1

I would try and talk to her first about the situation, and if she doesn't listen I'd talk to my parents and ask them to talk to her parents, because you want what is best for your friend

Answer 2

The best thing you could do for a friend in this situation is to help her get professional help. It is very important for people who suffer from anxiety or some other mental disorder to have a good circle of friends that provide support. However, its much more important for them to get the professional help they need. Depending on your friend's symptoms, she might require therapy, or medicine. However, only a qualified professional could make this assessment. The best thing you can do is helping her find this information, and trying to provide company and support along the way.
