Helping a loved one
If your loved one shows signs of mental illness, have an open
and honest discussion with him or her about your concerns. You may not be able
to force someone to get professional care, but you can offer encouragement and
support. You can also help your loved one find a qualified mental health
professional and make an appointment. You may even be able to go along to the
appointment.
If your loved one has
done self-harm or is considering doing so, take the person to the hospital or
call for emergency help.
