My neighbor (M35?) across the street goes on regular loud unhinged rants - usually nights - banging on things and cursing at...? I asked him what was up one time when he was beating on the wall of the building next to him and he said there was someone in there. His yelling at 5am just now woke me. I yelled at him him to STFU he screamed back accusing me of having people (women) over here all the time (I wish), and police dropping people off at my house and other strange accusations - none true.

@FireMonkey uhoh. wellness check, perhaps, by those who know how to deal with people in his state of mind?

@holon42
Yep - just have to figure out if that's a thing here (PR) and who it it is. For as underfunded as it is here, there are some pretty well intentioned rules and regs - thought like everything it's spotty and perhaps inefficient. e.g.; if you go to the hospital you bring all your bedding and toiletries, etc. Hospital has minimal supplies. Doctors and staff are good though.

@FireMonkey @holon42

If this were happening here, we might be inclined to call the police and ask for a mental health officer to respond. Just making that request sets up all sorts of care expectations for the responding officers.

@ATXJane @holon42

Yeah, I'm asking around my local friends what the best plan is. Also going to see who knows him/family and what they have on their plate. Not making any assumptions, and calling in police is never my first choice.

@FireMonkey right. he obviously needs help and soon if possible. there's no telling what might set him off.
