Big Issue session

I managed to read the entire issue of the Big Issue yesterday (issue 401) whilst in a marathon hair appointment.
I save up my visits into one big rescue mission.
Thanks to the Norwood vendor who said hello and had been making good sales.
Helen Razer's comments stood out, as they often do(!)
How do you know how to help someone who is very unwell mentally and is not in reality with you?
Is there a manual on this?
Hopefully the person is getting some advice via a professional.
So just visiting and offering to sit and talk, even if it means it goes around and around is a help.
But time and medication usually do help.
The mind sometimes takes a while to unravel, putting it back in 'order' is the hard part.
Good on you Helen for being there.
