Answer

How do police and health services usually respond to violent incidents with a possible psychiatric component in Mallorca?

In cases where mental health may be involved, police, emergency services, and health professionals each play a role. A person may be taken into psychiatric care only if certain legal and medical criteria are met, so intervention is not always immediate or simple. The challenge is making sure the response is both safe and appropriate for everyone involved.
