My best friend is scaring me to death. He's BP, off his meds, and is becoming very paranoid. He thinks the cops are following him and that everyone is watching him. His only near relative is too afraid to confront him, so it seems to be up to me. He refuses to get back on his meds, b/c he now thinks that the BP diagnosis and medication is a plot to keep him quiet about something. MHMR said my only option is to call the police on him & have them perform a "wellness check" on him. He's been hospitalized before, because he gets dangerously delusional. I don't know whether to call the police yet or not. I don't want him to hurt himself or anyone else, but I also don't want to jump the gun and damage him emotionally. he's been through so much already...
