How to handle a struggling friend who's affecting the whole group

Our friend group has someone in it who's become increasingly difficult - drinking too much, picking fights, making everyone uncomfortable - but she's also going through a genuine crisis and none of us knows how to address it without being cruel. We're all walking on eggshells and slowly dreading our own gatherings.

More people experience this than they realize.
