[quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by edging closer? Thoughts of harming others and especially auditory hallucinations relating to harming others are taken very very seriously. If he has a psychiatrist that person should be informed (even with no permission to talk to them they can listen) and there are usually civil procedures to get someone taken to the hospital for evaluation and possible commitment-in Maryland it’s called an emergency petition. A family member can do it or the police can if things are so bad that they are called. I would also inform his pcp. You should use the words “50 year old with no psych history now with new onset psychosis” or similar (if that’s the case.) it’s unusual and needs a full work up in addition to keeping him and others safe. Good luck! [/quote]
