I know my friend has depression and anxiety, I’ve known her since grade 3 and we’ve been close for a few years now. I’ve tried asking her if anything is wrong but she keeps answering with “nah, I’m fine” even when she’s lying straight through her teeth.
Her family is loud (compared to mine), she has a very younger brother who just plays games all day on Xbox or whatever console, her mom and dad argue sometimes when they think she’s asleep, her grandma is gonna die soon (most likely to breathing issues and how old she is) and as well argues with her mom. Also whenever we had playdates, she would always show up late. I’m not joking but every single time her mom drives somewhere, they are always, ALWAYS late to (important) things, no matter what it is. I remember in grade 5, our parents had organized a play date for us and she was supposed to come over to my house, well about 30 minutes later than the time her and much mom had planned, she arrived.
I know that are some of the things that are causing her anxiety (with never being on time due to her mom always in a rush (or her phone died)).
I don’t know what to do, I know she does counselling or therapy (or maybe both??) and hasn’t told anyone. Her mom has told my mom and she told me while leaving to go to an appointment.

I don’t want to over pressure her and constantly asking her “Hey, I know something’s wrong, you’ve been acting off lately” when in reality, she’s a pretty good liar. (Note: I’ve told her many times that she needs to stop lying most of the time since it’ll seem that she’s crying wolf sometimes and that’ll cause people to loose trust in her and not listen to her and will just brush something off is she is actually telling the truth).

Um, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk and reading this. Also, (person I’m talking about), if you’re reading this then I’m sorry but I don’t know another way to tell you without being overbearing.
