This was quite the adventure! I am so glad Charlie sought help and took care of his mental health. Seeing that he took the initiative to seeking help and stayed at a psychiatric hospital and how Nick does his own research and approaches the subject in a sensitive manner is such a great example of a healthy romantic relationship and good representation of how this situation can be handled. I like how Nick's mom understands him and his want to help Charlie, even offering to help Nick find a way to start the conversation.
