[quote=Anonymous]Your mother may be afraid to involve the police for very legitimate fears of how police handle the mentally ill. In DMV area I have more confidence in police crisis training and services. But in Georgia it can be very traumatic if the wrong cops show up. Many of the seriously mentally ill are blind to their own illness—many have no idea they are ill. So this whole talk of “bottoming out before voluntarily seeking help”, like a drug detox, is useless. I would call Georgia NAMI in her area or the Adult Services hotline to see if she can get a relationship with an outside support network. She could try for court-ordered treatment, but it’s difficult and costly. [/quote]
