Suggest Treatment For Anger And Violence

my father always angry and mad, sometimes get really mad and hit his head by his hands and sometimes says I wish I can die. I called his insurance nurse line and I explained everything but the lady who answered the phone refuse to talk to me unless my father give her a permission so she can talk to me. I called a local mental health institute but the lady who answered the phone said we can not do anything unless he is with you and hitting his head again so you can call us in the same moment that he is doing that. That s ridiculous, how come the mental health patient will say I am crazy and give a permission for treatment, I am trying to treat my dad so he doesn t get worse and hurt himself or hurt my mom, and they told me wait till he will be really get dangerous so you can call us. so HOW CAN I GET HIM TREATED?
