I hope anyone that has had a loved one or have experienced mania can help. My best friend has been under severe stress for quite some time now. In the past five days, he went from being obsessed over starting his own coop and getting anyone and everyone involved. He is obviously manic at this point...hasn't slept in 5 days, won't eat. Acting very erratic. Not making sense. Saying everyone that he's pitched his idea to is just low functioning or stupid because they don't understand how his idea will work. When I told him I wouldn't invest he accused me of not loving him enough as a friend and betraying him. I called a mental health hospital and that gave me a number to call. I called it and they said they would have to here the information from the sister he lives with. I gave her the number and also requested a welfare check on him. He wasn't at home when the police showed up and I have no idea what's going on. Is there anything more you can suggest to do that will help him. He refuses to think he has a problem. Any thought, comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
