my mum suffered from mental health at the start of this year. it went away. but now its back. its hard to explain she keeps saying she hasn’t slept since august and we tell her its impossible but she doesn’t believe it she is claming she is going to get arrested for serving a teen booze at work and shes going to go to caught and get arrested etc shes just going mad. shes talked about killing herself which is awful to hear however I dont think she will as shes told me she doesn’t know how to. the risk is there. my dad doesnt know what to do he is stressed.
she came off tablets when she shouldn’t have, she refuses to take any more that she needs to, she doesnt want help and the doctors are useless
what can I do?
where can i go?
i need someone to force there way in my house to see her and for her to get help
if she doesnt get help soon i am fearing the worse for her and my dads health
please someone help
i cant cope anymore

Hi,
it sounds like both you and your Dad are concerned about your Mum’s mental health, but your Mum isn’t accepting there’s a problem.
As her nearest relative, your Dad can request an assessment under the Mental Health Act, but she’ll only be detained if people think she’s a danger to herself or someone else. Whilst an approved mental health professional can get a warrnt to enter your home, by far the easiest option is for you just to let them in. If your Mum doesn’t meet the criteria for detention, nobody can force treatment on her. Requesting an assessment is a big step, and one that’s likely to have a huge impact on the relationship between you, your Mum and your Dad – it’s only worth considering if your concerned about your Mum’s IMMEDIATE mental health. If you decide this is what you need to do, you can contact either your Mum’s GP or your local community mental health crisis team.
It may be worth contacting your Mum’s GP for advice anyway. If you explain the situation, a friendly GP can make a house call, find out why your Mum stopped her medication, and suggest other ways of managing the problems she’s having. A lot of people don’t like the side effects of medication – it might be that a different drug or a talking treatment would suit her better. If you’re not fortunate enough to have a friendly GP, you could try persuading your Mum to go to a walk in centre (minor injuries unit) or your local A&E department.
Above all, talk to your Mum. Is there anyone who she really trusts that you can get to help you? You don’t want her to feel like people are ganging up on her, but it’s important for her to realise that the people who love her are worried about her.
Good luck!
