I was wondering if anyone had knowledge of helping a person with mental illness. One of my friend's sister(33 years old) has mental problems and it is driving their entire family crazy. At times, she acts all normal, but often she'll go all crazy(abusive). I was told that couple times his mom was abused by her sister. She pulled her mom's hair and trys to slam her head into the wall and kicked her in the back while she was trying to get up from the floor. I was like WTF!!! Can't you call the cops on her? well they didnt and let it go. The sister has been admitted to the hospital numerous times but was discharged shortly after. doctors said they can't lock her up and she seems normal to them.
Recently, he told me that his sister threatens to purchase a gun and kill their entire family. :Q They did try to get help from state agencies but none of the social workers care much for the case and left them hanging. I was wondering if there is anything else he could do to ease this problem or get help from other agencies. Appreicate any experience or help.
