<prompt> Human: Hey all I was wondering if anyone could help me help my roommate by providing some sources to deal with his problem. My friend Tom has had crippling anxiety and has lived in a pretty crappy environment since he was a kid. Because of this he suffers from depression and agoraphobia afraid of social interaction. This has been going on for about 30 years. As far as I know Im his only real friend and hes living with his aging mother. Sooner or later he wont be able to live there anymore and his mom has confided in me her worries. She and I both dont want him to become homeless but hes to afraid to do anything but sit in his room even when Im around. We live in California is there anything the state can do is there a program I can help him through? I know he wont do anything if we dont hold his hand and walk him through it but I need to try. Anything will help. Thank you.  <response>: SSI and SSD may be available to those unable to work due to psych disability.
