No, it's actually not that complicated.
Usually familiy or friends are the first who notice something is off. They report to law enforcement or health providers, and an evaluation is ordered. If evaluation shows the person is at risk of harming themselves or others, their weapon & CC permit is temporarily removed.
Rules like these are called "Red Flag Laws", and they work. It's in effect where I am and hasn't impacted other gun rights, or my own carry. Check out more info here :

All gets worked out in court. The person involved has the right to appear & be represented.

@pdockal I work in mental health there's already a shortage of providers. So I don't personally see how the medical side would handle it .

Start by increasing funding
Start by taking the stigma away from seeking help
Start by promoting more practioners to go into the field
Start by "testing" children in school & providing guidence for them & their parents
But i do understand your point

Agreed but we throw money @ issues that don't deserve the money (which i don't want too debate)
Let's channel funding to better places
