Check carefully for pests, since that’s a common reason people throw plants away

Definitely a BOP,; give lots of bright light and the worst of the foliage can be removed. A balanced fertilizer will help it bounce back, they also love potassium because that’s what produces the thick stalks of these type of plants.
