Where can I report someone I only know on Facebook experiencing pyschosis and believing he is God?

There's someone I have come across on Facebook who is very clearly mentally unwell, experiencing pyschosis and believes he is God. Am I able to contact some kind of crisis team for him even though I'm not a relative? I know his address and name as he's said his address on videos he's posted telling everyone his delusions of the police coming to kill him.
I just feel so bad and want to help him bit don't know how!

It's utterly terrifying. My step brother is currently being treated for a psychotic episode. He attacked his elderly mother, himself and two police officers and absolutely would have killed them and himself

I've just had a look, that poor guy is clearly very poorly. I hope he has family or a friend looking out for him, someone must know in RL that he's having a psychotic episode. Sad

I hope he does get some help. I was reading the thread at the weekend and wondered why is disappeared.

Blabbyblab · 03/12/2019 12:50

He has started posting alarming things again 🙁

I contacted the police last night. There is one video of a live feed he did where you can hear the police knocking on his door for a welfare check, so there are obviously other people concerned about him. The police are aware, but I'm sure it can't hurt to contact.
I phoned 101 and asked to speak to greater Manchester police and spoke to someone there x

Blabbyblab · 03/12/2019 13:02

Very good of you to do that @MrsHobo, do you think it would help for other people to report it aswel?

YippeeKayakOtherBuckets · 03/12/2019 13:07

He’s making some quite serious threats to kill all sorts of people. Let’s hope he doesn’t have the means to do it. And let’s hope the police can get to him and get him the help he needs.

Blabbyblab · 03/12/2019 13:17

That's the worrying part, if he is in the middle of an episode he may do irrational things, it happens all the time, but if strangers on the internet are so concerned, surely he must have family etc that are worried? I suppose we are just taking it on face value and dont know the full details but from facebook it looks like he is capable of anything.

MrsHobo · 03/12/2019 14:31

@Blabbyblab It certainly wouldn't hurt! X

If more people are reporting it you should mention someone else has reported it already but you want to add to the concern. Police resource is tight enough.

SouthernComforts · 03/12/2019 15:14

He's threatening to kill a lot of people, surely the police should be able to arrest him for that then arrange the help he needs.

I tried scrolling back but he posts so much, is this new or has he been ill for a while?

woogal · 03/12/2019 15:43

He seems very ill and truly believes that everyone is going to die and that the police are trying to kill him.

I hope he gets the help he needs.

pingponggo · 03/12/2019 16:40

Think the improving brain page has been deleted. His own page is still there

BlueScreen171 · 03/12/2019 18:23

Who is this about?

kimlo · 03/12/2019 18:28

I've been watching that since the last thread. It's awful to watch. He hasn't posted since last night so hopefully he is getting treatment.

BlueScreen171 · 03/12/2019 18:32

I’ve just seen the page. How awful. Sad

AFairlyHardAvocado · 03/12/2019 18:37

Just letting anyone concerned know that police are involved and being very proactive taking it seriously. Hope they can help as it seems like a psychotic break.

ThisMustBeMyDream · 03/12/2019 18:39

Thanks avocado for the update. I keep thinking about this. Feel somewhat powerless.

kimlo · 03/12/2019 19:27

I hope that they can help him.

Chancey1982 · 03/12/2019 19:38

Who is it? I've not seen this

AFairlyHardAvocado · 03/12/2019 19:48

He isn't anybody well known or in the public eye, the police are on the case with it so hopefully they can help him and keep him and others safe.

captainprincess · 03/12/2019 20:47

The page seems to have disappeared, hopefully this means he is getting help.

Walkerbean16 · 03/12/2019 21:02

The things he have posted recently dont compare to what he was posting a couple of days ago. It was every minute through the night all night. He must be so ill. I hope he gets help.

pingponggo · 03/12/2019 21:42

Thanks @AFairlyHardAvocado for the update

I've been where he is/was. It's terrifying.

Hope he recovers soon
