    Mental health crisis clinician: dementia is not considered a “mental health” issue

    Also, we can’t force people to get help just because they are acting wildly “crazy”… Even if it’s clearly psychosis, mania, etc. Even if the cops are getting called everyday because the person keeps trashing stores or harassing people. (And, in my state, the cops aren’t allowed to arrest them either, BECAUSE the behavior is due to mental illness).

    There’s some serious issues with our mental health system in the US.
