Question
I have a family member who is addicted to meth. she is losing her mind thinking that people are always spying on her and following her around. she stated that she is going to get a gun and start killing people who are watching her. she went to the cops and they put her in mental health but the mental health place let her go. the problem is getting worse everyday and we are afraid she will end up dead or hurting innocent people. please help before we lose are minds trying to help....very urgent.
Hi sonya,
This is a difficult situation. I don't know in what country you live but here in Australia, we would report such a case to the police. She would then be assessed for either treatment of release.
I suggest that you contact the police or some other prosecution officcer.
I hope I have been of some help.
