There are various techniques to encourage someone to unburden themselves of uncomfortable or unhealthy situations. You could try creating an open and supportive environment, and have a candid conversation with the person. Encourage them to get help from a medical professional, or speak to a trained counselor. Help them develop concrete plans to leave harmful situations and improve their quality of life. It can be very hard to overcome persistent struggles, and counseling can be a helpful and supportive process. You should never pressure the person or force them into action, but you can provide a caring and nonjudgmental support as they deal with these issues.
