My brother was at the hospital and was released on the basis that he follows up with treatment.
I worry about him so much. My mom is in denial that anything is wrong. He lives with her, and he just doesnt like to get doctor help. She seems to think everything is a food allergy.
My brother needs to take his medicine, get therapy, get follow up, and have a sleep study done.
I have no idea how to help him. He is so withdrawn from society, and my mom does not make it better- she actually creates an environment where he can be an invalid. That does not make him happy, and does not motivate him.
I have no idea what to do now. He is on his way back to my mom's house now. He is 23. I have seen this since he was a young boy. He has threatened to kill himself too.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I am afraid of his violent behavior, and his mood swings. My mom has been experimenting with his diet for years... convinced he has a food allergy. She will not admit that maybe he has a problem, and medical attention is necessary. She thinks he did not belong in the hospital.. that it was all part of his ex-girlfriend's plan somehow... that is so far-fetched! His ex is truly concerned for him, and because he has not had help, that is why she is his ex. They broke up 2 years ago. They have a child together, and she really hopes someday he can get his act together so he can be a father to his son. Right now she is very upset, and prays he gets better.
