Voices inside of someones head

HI GUYS,

ive got a friend who keeps having thoughts of self harming, killing herself and telling her that shes fat etc

The problem is she doesnt want to go to the doctors, is there anything she can do to help ?

Thanks

She needs professional help.

Can't have medical threads on here unfortunately. Advice is to try go with her or something as it's the best place for diagnosis.

If they're female voices there's no chance of quieting them

Serious note: needs professional help. If its not just a cry for attention and its a legitimate problem then you must convince her to go to the doctors. Just be there to support her.

Take her to the doc and whatever happens never **** her.

No medical threads allowed here, however this is something serious. You need to help her get some help. Make an appointment with her GP and go with her. Sounds like schizophrenia or something similar. She needs your support more than anything.

Talk her round, and just say that going to the doctors wont be all that bad.

Insist she gets medical help. That's the only answer anyone can give and it's the right one.

Even if it is a cry for help she still needs help before things spiral. Her GP is the best person to help her but if she won't talk to them why not suggest she calls breathing space? They're trained mental health nurses and it might be an easier first step to pick up the phone than to walk to the doctors.

While science denies the existance of spiritual realms they will be at a loss to getting to the bottom of the likes of Schizophrenia and simply cosh people with chemicals. I suppose it is better than trepanning.

This.

Ok badly worded there sorry. By cry for attention I mean the normal ones of expecting compliments and so on. The ones who actually have no intention of doing themselves harm. Everyone must have met one before.

Schizophrenia is never cured, it's what they call 'managed' coping techniques and the likes. Infact this is the same for most mental illnesses.

Lobotomy.

On a serious note, however, get her to her GP. Dragged if necessary.

help speed her along on her journey

Tell us more about spiritual realms and how they can provide positive outcomes in those prone to schizophrenia.

OP - Doctors, you numpty.

Her next of kin or the police can section her i.e. force her to get mental medical help, under the mental health act if she's a danger to herself or others. You can contact her next of kin or the police.
