What, pray tell, can the police do for someone who is depressed? go in and sing a tune of happiness, or dance a jig? That’s not what the police are for.

Bizarre as it might seem, the police can take a person into custody, take them to a health care facility, and force them to undergo evaluation about their mental state.

If they are found to be a threat to *themselves* or others, they can be involuntarily committed.
