That depends on what happens when the police arrive. I've called 911 on my kid before (told them it was a behavioral health crisis, we're trying to get supports, need help de-escalating in the immediate term). The officers who responded were always polite, respectful, spoke with me, my child, my partner, they never took my child from the house because calling 911 got the situation under control.

OP, can you tell us more about your child's diagnoses, meds, etc? My child is ASD/Bipolar and is on Latuda and prozac. Prozac (and [b]all SSRI's[/b]) can trigger mania in individuals with bipolar, and it sounds like that might be what you're dealing with (even if its not bipolar), but if you can contact your child's psychiatrist and ask to add a "mood stabilizer" because your child is violent and can't control their moods, that might really help. My child was on several, but Latuda has been a game changer and has worked better than literally everything else.[/quote]

Can NDRIs trigger mania? [/quote]
