How to handle a mentally disturbed roommate?
Guy living one room down from me is insane and seemingly getting worse.
He has not left the house in at least 4 months, maybe much longer. He takes showers over an hour long in a shared washroom, leaves the bathroom and kitchen floors covered in water and mud and hair, does his dishes in a shared kitchen a few feet from our bedrooms for 30 minutes or more at 3:00 AM.
And just last night he went berserk, screaming like a maniac for at least 2 minutes straight. He was in his room but the screaming was directed at me. It started right after I opened my door to go to the bathroom.
He’s done this before when I passed him in the kitchen. I thought he was screaming in his phone, but looked and he didn’t have a phone.
I thought “OK, this guy is nuts and he’s screaming to himself, so I’ll just ignore it”. But that seems to have emboldened him.
It’s very aggressive and threatening screaming in some foreign language. Maybe Vietnamese.
I’ve contacted the landlord, who lives upstairs. And I’ll be carrying protection on me at all times now. But I won’t let the guy get away with trying to intimidate me where I live.
Any suggestions.

Do you live in a flop house?
I'm not sure you have many options. Maybe try to get better living accommodations the next time.

I'd just move brah.
This dude is crazy, even if you fuked him up....he'd come after you.
He's the type to hide in a bush for 48 hours straight just for the opportunity you might walk past unaware so he can stab you repeatedly in the back.

Why does he mention me in a thread that has nothing to do with me at all?
As for OP, definitely move. Don't want crazy roommates or inconsiderate ass-holes. Who does dishes at 3am? That's loony. I've had really inconsiderate roommates before, like ones that leave washing in the machine for days, or hog the kitchen for two hours, but never a complete loon.
I'd move. He might do something crazy in retaliation.
Back off, Warchild.
Seriously.

From what I've read, that is something many families have difficulty finding answers to, dealing with a mentally ill family member. It can break families apart. I have a friend with a daughters that suffers from serious mental issues. Medical treatments didn't help much. Basically the daughter didn't have empathy for others feelings. As an example she had no problems with going into her sisters or parents rooms at 3:00 in the morning to yell about something. Eventually she moved out for college, where she did very well, so long as she wasn't dating a guy. When she dated her grades fell apart. There is peace i n the house now since finding a job, and not wanting to be around family members.
Good luck finding an answer. Wish we had a better mental health system in the US.

I can’t just let it slide. He was literally screaming like he was going completely mental.

The logical side of me is going to tell you to just move ASAP because gambling with crazy will never end well for anybody with a shred of moral integrity.
Although....
If you are ready to dig in and get dirty now is the time to launch a shock & awe attack via psychological warfare...if he is legit crazy... start doing $hit that really makes him think he is on the low and watch him self implode. The downside to this is yet again gambling with crazy!! He could just move or stab you 350 times while you sleep... who knows.

I'm assuming you are in a college dorm? Just tell the people running the dorm.
If he has untreated schizophrenia and has a psychotic break then **** could get deadly serious real quick. My suggestion would be to move as soon as you can.
If you are in the US you can always call the police to do a "wellness check" on him when he starts screaming like a maniac...if you are lucky and he is still screaming like a maniac when they get there they can get him 1013'd and haul him away to an Emergency Room and hopefully he goes to a psych facility afterward.

Calling the police feels like a major escalation.

That’s nothing, man. My roommate is the worst roomate in the history of roommates.
1-He hides in the cupboard under the sink and bursts through the doors and screams. I literally fell on my arse when he did that.
2- He will wait behind corners in the apartment and jump out and scare me with a mask on.
3- He takes chits in my toilet, doesn't flush, but instead puts his space heater in the small bathroom and cranks it up to roast his chit.
4- If he hears me having sex with my GF, he will bang on my door and scream "Fukin Nice Bro! Woo!"
I've confronted him about this calmly, aggressively, but he won't stop. I'm debating breaking the lease but my contract is up in August. Not sure what to do.

plow their hole(s) to assert dominance then make sure you lock + barricade your bedroom door when you sleep and carry a loaded blicky
or just don't live with afucking retarded psycho roommate
Also, what the actualfuck is a "rooming house"? You sound like a poor beta cuck who will soon be beheaded

The screaming and other antics you ignore you can inforrm.landlord but untill he trys to out hiz hands on you you iust have to ignore it.
Keep filing complaints. Ask other neighbors who are normal to also talk to landlord
Or if nothing gets done and its that bad moving is an option

Id call the cops. My apartment complex had some Vietnamese guy get ****ed up on drugs and walk around the property screaming at 2 AM. He was hauled away a couple times before property management decided to finally evict him. They couldn't evict him until cops were called a certain amount of times, I believe
