"Instead of leaving it to be taken care of on its own, they highly encourage you to involve family and friends and get the affected persons to seek help."
I understand what you are saying but this could really backfire on you.
And if that person does not want help, there is nothing you can do.
My mother in law has mental issues and it was very difficult. My father in law had to go to court to get a court order to have her admitted to the hospital for her problems. He had to do this more than once. And this was not something that can be done immediately as he needed a lawyer and evidence/documentation for the courts with regard to her behavior. My sister in law is a lawyer and she said this is very very difficult to obtain.
It is not an easy thing to deal with. Also, remember that the person with the problem who refuses help--it could really infuriate them and make the problem worse for awhile.
Just my .02 worth.
