How to prove mental health affects your life when first claiming PIP

Hi I am asking the question as I am assisting someone in my community
I want to help this person the best way I can as a physical disability is different
When filling in the form I know how to describe the affects of this person's mental health but need the best way of describing how it affects this person going out planning a journey and things like that please
I am probably over thinking it and is probably similar to describing how a physical disability affects someone

Hi I get pip purely for mental illness I have no physical disabilities just all mental illnesss . Of course every ones illnesses are different and how my mental illness affects my life might affect your Friend differently . But I can share my experiences as some one with mental illness who gets pips . When I filled out my pip form I was really ill I was in crisis at that time I did get help filling the form out .
also I sent off care plans from the crisis team they had care plans that documented how my illness affects me .
