I hope with her new found celebrity that Erica J. can be helped, but she needs serious help with addiction and mental illness.

I used to see this woman every day in SOMA. She's obviously very sick, and probably a meth addict. She needs treatment. She's a prime candidate for involuntary mental health care, but SF just doesn't do that.
