I live in Bloomington and work in mental health and am sad to say our mental health resources around here are both overwhelmed and underfunded. The local resources are terribly understaffed and massively overdemanded. The CMHC around here that handles most homeless and Medicaid clients has only a handful of therapists and hundreds of folks on the wait list. 
I recently transitioned to a private practice setting, and stories like this make me regret it. While I may not treated this specific person, certainly they have had an intake at the CMHC I worked at, and certainly they were told to wait for months to see someone. The police are good at getting folks into an intake when it's a mental health problem. Maybe I could've made it a few weeks instead. This shit sucks man.
Yeah, this person needs to be locked up in a psych hospital.
