    Jimmy. Good luck with this. As a matter of interest, how old is your friend? You said he had no prior issues. This kind of mental illness often starts occurring around the 19/20 age range.

    Whats his name Jimmy etc, can raise awareness on Twitter.

    The gent is 33, I have put the feelers out in Horley and Brighton. I have friends and family in both places so fingers crossed.

    Jimmy - if he's on a section, Plod will be alerted anyway (by law). If he's got enough insight to take £200 out of a cash machine he has a plan and my guess is it's nothing to worry about. Everyone on a section wants to get out, so try and relax. He will turn up when the money runs out...

    Good news, JiMMY.

    Mental illness is a tough one.

    Jimmy- 90% of people that have been sectioned hate being banged-up on a mental health ward and just want to get out. ( My job involves dealing with this kind of thing, albeit indirectly.

    Great news mate - had something similar happen with a cousin of mine a few years ago and it didn't end as well so I can only imagine the relief you must be feeling.

    You sound like a really, really good mate to have, Jimmy. Your friend's a lucky guy.

    I must say I always thought you were a troll or a WUM but recently you've been proving my initial thoughts wrong.

    Good news Jimmy, glad to hear he is safe. Have found myself in the same position with my brother going missing whilst suffering from mental health problems so can fully appreciate how helpless you feel. Hopefully your friend will get the help he needs to make a full recovery.

    You're all very kind, but I have to admit, if I'd stayed in touch with him a bit more regularly I wouldn't have been so surprised by the turn of events.

    The best thing to come out of this is that he's made a choice to go back. After avoiding his meds and such for a month, this is the first time that he's accepted, even sought help. It's very promising.

    Again, thank you for your advice and ideas, too many to name check but I read all of them and took it all on board. Onwards and upwards!

    As well as looking after your friend Jimmy, look after yourself.

    Take care.
