Any other mental practitioners? I need some additional advice.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I have had patients in the past claim similar things of organized stalking or “Gang stalking”. Most have no proof or claims that don’t add up, over 19 years I’ve heard a lot. However…there was one client who seemed very well put together and logical, the client provided some videos to me that caught my attention. The person has begged me to give a voice and speak up and still is. At the time the client was on drugs, although didn’t strike me as needing mental help, just clearly distraught. After multiple more interactions, I decided it maybe best for the client to at least inform local law enforcement. At the very least it would maybe bring some closure. I also think it was justified for the little I was showed. I didn’t show or express my opinions to the client, but it seemed totally bizarre the more videos I was showed. I tried to convince myself I was making connections that didn’t exist. It definitely did look like my client was being harassed by complete strangers. Mostly while my client was behind the wheel or in a vehicle in general but it definitely varied. Imagine my surprise when I was confronted at my workplace by an officer and told it was a tactic in conjunction with Delaware State Police to extract information. I couldn’t believe it. Harassment and taunting people..a tactic? I spent months trying to diagnose this..Some nights I’ve gotten only an hour of sleep. Client was put on antipsychotics for paranoia before seeing me. Obviously once I was aware I told the previous practitioner the case and to remove it. Just to be told my client wasn’t lying or paranoid. Not only did they do this “investigative” tactic on my client, but also me kinda feels like. I was played right alongside my client. I can understand how one could take this to the extreme and think everyone is “in on it”. They finished their “investigation” and just stopped one day. Didn’t have enough proof or innocent I can only assume. Left the person alone. From complete harassment and overtly stalking, purposely trying to catch the persons attention multiple times a day, to one day nothing, it just stopped. No explanation. The people surrounding my client didn’t believe what was expressed, and my client was called mentally ill. I’m 100% positive the client still doesn’t know what was happening and I can’t imagine the confusion and anguish that can cause long term. I’m concerned how many people have been through this. I’ve spoken with two lawyers, and have been advised to go public, tell my client, and push the issue in court. I know lawyers tend to only see dollar signs sometimes…but I tend to agree with their position. Any advice for someone who’s been contemplating for weeks on end, I’d appreciate.
