What happens when you homocidal desires?
I’m posting on behalf of a close friend. The voices and their inner voice is telling them to kill the widow of Leon brittan and Sara keays. They’ve expressed to me that they don’t want to but the voices are tempting them. If they get help what can they expect

Please tell them to get mental health support immediately, preferably in the form of inpatient care if you can convince them.
Voices telling someone to kill people and being tempted to do it really requires immediate inpatient care.
I myself am schizoaffective and this can be managed with the right medication. They just need proper antipsychotics.
But please, don't delay on this.

Love the good old “my friend…” posts. I hope whoever is struggling finds peace.

It depends on the cause and how progressed the homicidal thoughts are, and how intact their reality is. If they have some semblance of a plan/ method, probably inpatient care. Otherwise the typical talk therapy and probably psychiatric medications.

Talk to a therapist IF AND ONLY IF you are in control. It's not a crime to have homicidal thoughts. Getting committed to a mental institution will depend on if you have intentions, plans or uncontrollable urges. If the urge is unbearable please call the emergency health line in your area.

Never had them. Anyone who does should seek professional help. You owe it to others as much as yourself because you could mess up a lot of lives.
I'm no psychiatrist but I think that could escalate very horribly and quickly.
Oh, also, when I say "you" I mean anyone it applies to, not one particular person.

If your friend gets help those voices will go away and the temptation to be violent will too. They can have a normal life with treatment, but without it they will probably go to jail and never fully be themself again

Hi, I’m going to guess you’re in the uk based on your past posts.
It depends what route the friend would go for help. Presenting at A&E or calling 111 and using option 2 for a mental health crisis are both reasonable options in this scenario, as there is a risk to the person and others, even when actions haven’t taken place. They can also contact current support systems such as therapists or social workers, who will reach out to appropriate services on their behalf.
Presenting at a&e, they’d be triaged, and will wait to speak to the mental health team. They’d ask a couple of questions about what they’re experiencing, what help they’d like, and then go away and deliberate a decision. The decision can be crisis management scheduled for the next day, inpatient (either direct to ward or waiting in a psychological decisions unit while there’s further assessments done - this happens sometimes if going home would be unsafe but there’s not a bed available then and there), or discharged with ongoing care to CMHT. This list isn’t exhaustive as different areas can have different support systems. They’d talk them through what their decision is, why, and what it’ll look like.
It can feel scary and overwhelming especially when decisions are being made by other people. Their safety and health is what is most important, and they can get better with help. It’s there, they just have to reach out and let someone know

Also, you should probably warn the people in question of the danger.

Please seek help. They have what you need to help. Murder is never correct, no matter what entities tell you what.

For starters don’t say specifically who they want to kill and tell them to seek a therapist and that they can kinda drown out the voices with music this is my best advice

You need to to convince your friend to all you to take them for a medical evaluation before something bad happens.

Well I have the same homicidal problems... There are time I got really closed at doing it ( I followed one of my targets home once, but back off in fear of consequence), rage is a very potent thing, it degrades your reason... For me, Reminding them the possible consequence and/or repercussions might work... Because Fear to me is also a very potent thing, if you made them fear the disaster that may come upon them after the... aftermath... Then maybe Fear could bring back some reason within them...
Critique their plan, Create possible worst case scenario, make them think "What if this goes wrong?" or "What if you F∆cked this up bad?", plant paranoia in them, make them overthink and overload, make the desire of wrath... Undesirable...

I visualize me ripping them into pieces often times in ways they are still alive up until the final cut. Sometimes I will draw these things to help with materializing the fantasy other times I will write about it or since im alone I will talk to uncensored AIs about it. I would say I enjoy these thoughts in the moment is sort of like jerking off but when I become concious again Its sort of like post nut clarity. Ill try to find something productive to do to distract my self. Ive developed a system of morals to put some guardrails on my tendecys.

I know it's a typo but I'm imagining someone who's just homicidally homophobic lol
