If you met a person whether here or in rl, that you suspected had a mental disorder what would you do?

I'm curious because usually it's outsiders not usually family members that can tell if something isn't within "normal" behavioral characteristics.

So far, my approach has been to help. To understand and accept and help.
I've learned over time that this is not appreciated.
If I meet someone like this now, my approach would be to do nothing.

@SW-User that's a shame :-(
I'm sorry that so many people have curbed your natural instinct. It's love and kindness that makes the world a better place and clearly you even have the theory behind the method :-(

@Peppa A lot of things in life are ironic. I find this to be one of them.

@SW-User I think this is why I struggle so much.

@Peppa Yeah. I think same for me.

@SW-User I'm sorry. Hopefully as you'll be in the right setting you'll be able to do your bit as they'll be coming to you and it will dull the fact there are so many others in need.
