Alright so i know someone that I think might have some sort of mental disorder. I've thought this for a few years but i can't get them to seek professional help. They tell me theres nothings wrong with them and theres no way they will go to a doctor. So is there anyway I could get them help?

People like that usually never think anything is wrong with them. How well do you know that person's parents? Maybe you could mention something to them, but be very subtle...

Well the thing is that they are a family member and an adult and their spouse can't convince them to see a doctor.
