Health Tip: Mental Illness


You generally cannot "make" someone that is suspected to have a mental illness seek care. There are of course exceptions such as homicidal or suicidal ideations. Encourage them to speak with their primary care physician and/or notify their PCP (Primary Care Physician) of your concerns. If someone threatens to harm themselves or harm someone else then BELIEVE them! Contact the local authorities (MD/Police/Paramedics/911/Mobile Crisis) immediately! Have A Mentally Healthy Day!
