Mrs Bear
This is distressing because your a Mother, and the primary carer.
When some one says they want to kill themselves, you advise them to seek medical intervention. When someone says they are told by external voices to hurt themselves or others, you should call 999[911 in the USA]
In the UK, UNDER THE MENTAL HEALTH ACT of 19 seventy.....something. People in an acute pyschotic state can be detained be in an hospital environment, and if need be under this act against their will, this is called a SECTION, this is done by two doctors, and one or two proffessional persons[ usualy police officers].
Mrs Bear please do NOT see your son's current episode through the eyes as a Mother,
WES is unwell and his thoughts are not of this realm. He is clinical unwell and his thought process is not in the realms of normality. If this means hospitalisation through force is the course needed then so be it.
Your ultimate aim is that WES and Others remain Safe.......
Mrs Brown make the call tonight, to the appropriate bodies and tell them your son is in CRISIS...
PLEASE GOD BE BE BRAVE, AND ABOVE ALL BE SAFE.
David
