I think probably the easiest complete psychotic breakdown I had was the ambulance got called and the ambulance attendants came and they sat down across the street from me and they just sat down and they started talking to one another and they were watching me out of their corner of the eye and I knew that if I ran they would tackle me and they were probably going to call the police.
