    Religion and mental health issues
    Could someone help please, I have known my neighbour for a couple of years, she lives on her own and has no one, her family has disowned her, she is classed as a nutcase and does very strange things like call on complete strangers asking for compassion and telling everyone that God is punishing her and that she has let God down etc, she's in debt and has got no food heating has lost half her body weight.She is in a world of her own and asks for help all the time, but she won't say what's wrong ! She won't let anyone in her house and refuses help! IM going round in circles here, she said she feels normal! I don't no what to do. I think she will starve to death very soon, what's wrong with her? Please email me someone who can help!

    It is really hard to say. How old is this person and is there access to social services in your area?

    Once or twice a day you can take her a plate of food?

    You can try and go visit her several times a week.

    You can report her to the police for a welfare check and to social services.

    If she has no heat ( in a cold area) you can report her to the city
