When you're down at the shops or somewhere, and you see someone you know behaving in a manic fashion, like ranting, raving, or throwing money ...and clearly agitated,

do you say something?
Or ignore them?
Or try and stop them?
Or call the police?
Or phone for the response team?

So it's not ok to call someone if they clearly need help?

You'd just leave them to carry on and self destruct?

Joz, hugs wasnt on the list 😛

Yes...........I would say something.............if it was someone I knew.............ask if they needed help......or could I ring or conatct someone for them.

If it was someone I did not know then I probably would just walk away...............and then feel guilty when I got home that I did not do something.

in the shops, if they were big and scary, i would ask one of the shoppies to contact their manager and get him/her to deal with the manic person. If they weren't big and scary, I would probably ask if they were OK and then call the local cop shop if they said no and went manic at me.

I didn't do anything Joz, I just watched for a while as they ranted and raved, thought about approaching them, chickened out, then went and bought some more chocolate.

I probably should have got the pharmacist, they needed sedating,

Re: Mania

*crikey*mate* — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 11:20:01 GMT

didn't anyone pick up the money?

can a pharmacist sedate? wouldn't you need the ambos?

Re: Mania

just_me_karen — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 11:22:49 GMT

Sedation would be a more humane option than alternatives.
