How can someone with no health insurance on a low income get mental help?

A friend of mine is in dire need of mental help. Therapy. Something. Anything. Constantly morbidly depressed and miserable. They have no insurance and cant afford to see anyone. Are there any programs for something like this?
--------------------
Yes, every state has free/sliding-scale mental health clinics. They are usually not listed where you can easily find them, so it's best to call the emergency room or the police department to get the location and/or phone number of the one nearest you. No one needs to suffer with depression, anxiety, or any other mental health problem. There is help out there, you just need to make the calls to find it.
