Chloe found the final episodes of the show particularly helpful.
“When they all parted ways, it gave me hope that, even though I was unhappy with my life, things do get better, and good things will come,” she says.
Watching the reunion this year gave Chloe a chance to take stock.
“Although it brought back memories of when my mental health was at its worst, it also made me extremely happy and grateful for what I have in my life now,” she says.
Anna Myers, a 27-year-old writer and creative consultant from Milan, found that Friends was a key part of coping with periods of depression.
She first watched the boxsets while in high school in 2009. Since then, she’s watched the show “too many times to count, truly,” she says. She even has a Pinterest board dedicated to Rachel’s best outfits.
Anna’s mental health has gone through ups and downs, she says.
“Comfort shows like Friends work great as an escape and a way to bring my brain back to a familiar place — remind myself that I’m just going through a rough patch and it won’t be forever,” says Anna. “Knowing the jokes by heart and still laughing at them even when I’m not feeling my best really helps put things in perspective.”
For Anna, Friends is the ideal show for just about any scenario.
“It’s a real balm for the soul. I watch it when I’m feeling down and also when I’m in an upbeat mood and want something light in the background,” she says.
She recently returned to the show yet again while living alone for the first time.
“I found that having Friends on in the background helped me relax and not think too much about the serial killers that might be hiding outside my window!” she laughs.
For Chloe, Anna, and countless other fans, Friends has become a vital pillar of support during difficult periods.

“Sitcoms are comforting for people going through mental health problems because they can serve as a place of refuge, connection, and acceptance,” says therapist and assistant professor at Albizu University Jessica Popham. “TV shows, especially those with many episodes and seasons, allow people to escape the problems of everyday life and immerse themselves in the characters’ fictional world.”
Still, immersing yourself in a show like Friends is only helpful up to a point.
“I do not think the characters in a show like Friends are a sufficient substitute for real, in-person friends,” Popham says. “A connection with a character from a sitcom can be powerful but, in the end, it’s one-sided.”
