No worries. I'm really sorry to hear about your loss and everything else that's happened recently. I struggle with depression too, so I know what that part is like and it really sucks. Please hang in there. Glad to hear you're trying to learn things and keep yourself busy. After medication and therapy, that's the best approach I've found. Keep at it.
YouTube CAN be a really good resource if you know what you are trying to learn. If you break up tasks into pieces, that and StackOverflow will get you really far. Remember web devs aren't smarter than anyone else, they just know how to google better.
That Udemy course you posted looks decent, but I'm kinda torn with recommending it. It might be good if you want to focus on basics. The CSS and JS portion seem like they might be pretty simple, so if you're wanting to learn frontend a little more, there might be better courses for that. I'm guessing that course might cover a good portion of what you already know if you can handle the PHP side with a database. Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't be bad to go through it to cover the basics and make sure you have a good foundation, but if your intention is to focus on the frontend side, I would explore other courses.
This course looks pretty decent. It looks like it's more info driven and not based around building a CRUD app, so I guess it depends on how you want to approach it, but I think you want a course that will help you with either learning Bootstrap or just getting better with CSS.
Think about what you want to learn longer term though. I'm assuming you want to turn this into a career ideally? Take a look at jobs in your area. See what PHP frameworks and CMSs companies are looking for right now. I know a lot of places are on hiatus, but it might give you some idea of what you need to learn to be competitive and point you to the direction your want to head in. Look at the kinds of JavaScript that companies want you to know too.
I'm a mostly backend engineer, but my jobs have all required some level of interaction with the frontend. People here saying that this is all handled by designers aren't exactly right. At some companies, you can have frontend engineers that will do a lot of that work, but it's been my experience with most mid-size companies that I end up doing at least some frontend work. That's why you have a lot of companies looking for full stack developers instead of just backend or just frontend.
I am unemployed at the moment too. I've been working with Laravel for the last few years and WordPress before that. I'm trying to learn ReactJs or VueJs. My JS experience is limited to jQuery for the most part, and a lot of employers in my area are looking for people with more modern JavaScript experience: Angular, React, Vue, Node, etc.
All that being said, and I know I'm kinda telling you two different things here, but I personally think it's good to jump into frameworks and CMSs to play with them and see how they work. Learning PDO is good foundational learning for starting out, but in real world applications, you probably won't use it. You'll usually end up using some type of query builder, but that's just been my experience.
If you're still starting out and don't feel confident, focus on building a solid foundation in PHP, CSS, and vanilla JS, but just keep in mind what you want to work with in the future and what your end goals are.
Feel free to pm me anytime. If you want to vent, need help with a project, or whatever.

Never heard of them, there is a lot of web dev courses for free on the internet. I would give that a look first before parting with 6k.
