Friend lost his mind...

I've known this guy since elementary school, we've been fairly close friends for years. We're both 19 now. I'll call him JR in this story. So it all started last Friday, I met up with him and another friend of mine to catch up and smoke. JR gets in the car and starts telling my friend "I was driving around last night, I made a right turn off the highway, another right turn, and another right turn, and I then ran out of gas and my dad picked me up." ....cool story bro, right? I let that slide, figured maybe he was just high or something, so the day goes on and he's doing all kinds of weird shit. Breathing weird, sweating.. weird shit. I ask if he's taken any drugs, he said no. I believe him, this guy doesn't drink, doesn't smoke cigarettes, and occasionally smokes weed.
The next day my friend and I meet up with JR again to see if he was doing better. Here's a couple things I remember JR saying.. "some people can tap into the 5th and 6th demensions, the 5th and 6th dimensions are divided between males and females, some people like the Mormons can tap into the 7th dimension. And there's up to 21 dimensions." "If you fully understand space and time you can travel faster than the speed of light" (later he told us that he had been driving faster than the speed of light after he understood space, and time.) He would spontaniously shout "The Mormons are right!"
sigh.. OK, so a couple days go by. The police find him laying on top of his car in the middle of the highway, completely out of gas. Apparently he put up a little resistance, they detained him and released him to his father later that night. This was last night on Monday.
So today nobody can get ahold of him. Myself and a couple of my close friends are hanging out at a friend's house who lives near JR. We had just met up with JR's dad to tell him that his son has lost his mind.. Next thing I know, JR is AT THE DOOR of my friend's house. We try to act like everything's cool, just trying to get JR to relax, he was ranting. We give him some food, he eats a little, then he stands up and says alright i've gotta go. He dissapears into the house. We get up to follow him so we could tell him to stay.. we spread out and can't find him. We meet back up at the front door and then we see him drive away down the street. (the house isn't that big.. we have no idea how he dodged all 3 of us, we think he hid under a bed until we went outside.. and then he snuck into his car some how)
So we hop into our cars and chase after him.. we were going 80 MPH and he lost us.. so I assume he was going 90-100+
That was 3 hours ago. JUST NOW as I was typing this, his ex-girlfriend calls me out of fucking no where crying and tells me that he showed up at her house and he was telling her that he was going to "kill the people who were trying to contain him."
....... What the fuck do I do?

Sounds like maybe he is developing schizophrenia?
I would talk with his dad about getting him in to see a medical professional.
ASAP

Hope he doesn't have schizophrenia, that's about the age that it starts rearing its ugly head. Do you know if he has a family history of this?

That's shitty.
The cops really aren't going to treat him kindly.

That's the scary thing, his aunt had some kind of mental illness, and his cousin is mentally retarded, I do not know the actual diagnosis.
Damn. You always read about people going crazy on the shroomery but I never thought it would happen to someone so close.

at that point you need to call someone like the cops. I hate bringing cops into anything (trust me I paused and tried to think of someone else), but my brother and father are both schizophrenic, a guy I worked with was, and my friends uncle is. I would say your friend definitely sounds like he has schizophrenia of some type although sometimes it can be other similar things, either way you need to get him into a psych ward asap.
One night my brother just sat up (around 2 am) and said "I think I'm going to move to alaska" so I said oh that sounds cool, when you plan on moving there? he didn't answer and just started packing shit into his car and drove off. Later I found out that he had spontaneously driven all the way to alaska, and he stayed there for two years living off of a snickers bar a day, giving his clothes away to random bums and often was found sleeping on the steps of the church. When my family went to find him he was in horrible condition and tried to run away into the woods once and to a monastery. When you talked to him it would take literally about 5 minutes til he responded and he later admitted he would say a prayer before each and every response.
anyway he was freaking out (pretty scary stuff) and someone called the police and said they were worried about his mental condition and they basically dragged him away. It was disturbing and depressing to see, but after a few months he came out of the psych ward on medication and we made sure he stayed on it and now he's doing just fine.
so my advice is do whats best for him and for everyone else, get him help asap

I really just hope the police get to him before he hurts somebody, or himself.
JR has always been a troubled person, his mom passed away in a car accident when he was 6 years old. His girlfriend broke up with him a few months ago, his aunt died last month (that was his moms sister, he was very close with her even though she was mentally handicapped.)

I honestly don't see anything bad or wrong with that other than the snickers bar every day , that can't be healthy....

He needs medical attention right away or otherwise he or someone else might get hurt.
If it's schizophrenia I'm surprised it manifested so fast. I know 2 guys who have it. In their case there we're noticeable signs long before they went insane. Not that anyone understood it back then, but it's so clear now.
I hope it's nothing serious and he turns out ok!
