I have a friend who is psychotic. What should I do to help her?


Make sure that it is not you alone who feels the person is mentally ill. This is to confirm that there is an issue. Those guys should be trustworthy, often people tend to defame a person if he has mental illness.
If you are staying with that friend observe him and note what all you feel odd in him/her.
Contact his family and convey this information. Most parents/family will be initially hesitant and might retort. Have to take that risk. You don’t know the past,medical history etc or his/her family history, which are needed for treatment.
If you do something on your own without their knowledge, it will put you in trouble(legal).
