My friend needs psyciatric help

She has seriously gone off the deep end. She listens to her 10 year old daughter when she is on the phone. She follows he ex and his wife places and takes pictures of them together. She has been divorced for 4 years but ever since she had her daughter her mental state got a lot worse. The things that she does on a daily basis aren't normal. This isn't just a once in awhile thing. She even wrote a message to her daughters step brother that said "F*** off", the boy is 8 years old. She thought that it was funny. She is 42 years old and doesn't have a lot of family she has a boyfriend that only comes around when the sun goes down, and I am her only friend. We work together and with about 700 other people and all I ever hear is how can you be around that psycho. Nobody ever says a good thing about her and to be honest the way she has been acting there isn't anything good to say. They call her Crack head K****. My question is can I do something to get her into a mental hospital??

Since you both work at the same place and it employs a lot of people, you should go to Human Resources. This will not be betraying your friend but helping her. I cannot say for sure if they will intervene in anyway, she would have to be "incompetent" at her job for them to call in the white coats so to speak.

Your other option is to call children services---this is a tough one because they will take her daughter from her-- which from what you state, would truly be in her best interests- her mother is being a terrible role model.
