The best thing you can do to help people like this is to either encourage them to go back on their medication or report them to the proper authorities if they are a threat to themselves or others. If you are a true friend you will doe this for them and not think badly of yourself for doing so. By reporting them to the proper authorities you are actually helping them as they will be at worst taken to a place were there medication will be supervised and they can kept safe.
Depending on this friends age the proper authorities would be; parents, teachers, principale or law enforcement. Do this for your friend so that she cam receive the proper treatment and medication. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Now if this is happening at school, go to the headmaster or principal and complain about the threats. The child and the parents will likely be called and this might encourage her to stay on her meds. [ VoiceofReason's advice column | Ask VoiceofReason A Question ]
