Schizophrenia

So it is possible the whole thing with my brother being harassed by those particular individuals didn’t happen. What has happened is that he had a major psychotic episode. It appears to be paranoid schizophrenia. I had to get a commitment order from the judge because he was a danger to himself and my parents couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

It sucked and still sucks. It is hard seeing my brother crazy. It is like he is a different person.

The police were able to take him to the hospital with no major drama going down, thank goodness. Even though it took 20 minutes for them to talk him into the car, it was okay. This was the best experience with police that I’ve ever had.

He is now in a psychiatric treatment facility.

PS. I will be writing a lot more now. If you read my posts, you’ll probably understand why.

  2. Oh, dear. I’m so sorry. I have a cousin who is schizophrenic, and it’s been rough. He had to be committed also and has to take medication all the time. I hope they can figure out an effective treatment for your brother.
