I'm helping my dad with his mental health. what should i do?

It depends: Your father's needs will depend on what's going on with him and his mental health. In all cases, he needs family like you to continue being involved in his life. But what he needs you to do depends on what's wrong. I suggest you have a discussion with his family doctor first. If there are referrals you need, like psychiatrists, get them so you can be a team working together, rather than alone.
