I agree with all this person says but really had hopes they'd state it with less aggression.

Leave them be sadly is usually the best choice. There is no help available quite often. At best, if you think it's a medical problem, an ambulance.

Cops are for crimes and nothing else. Only when people are in real danger. Otherwise they're the danger and it is your fault for calling them.

Kind like Chemo therapy. Poison you use when desperate in an attempt to kill the problem. Only to be used when neccesary and sparingly.

See if a program like "Cahoots" or a similar crisis response program exists in your area too. If it does they may be able to help
