Hi Berries, thanks for the message. I don't think my meds person is checking her messages. She's on vacation, I think. My family met together today with a local therapist to talk about my brother and how we can help him and the therapist thinks he has one or more of the B cluster personality disorders (narcissist, borderline, or anti-social) and that being as old as he is it would be hard to treat without inpatient intensive care, especially since he's good at charming and lying to people's faces about his real problems/feelings. He has multiple diagnoses with drug and alcohol abuse, so he needs to get cleaned up first before they can prescribe him medication he won't misuse. Problem is, he barely would probably show up for therapy and any thing resembling taking away his freedom and he bolts. So the only way to get him treated is if he winds up in the hospital somehow.

Prognosis not good. Kind of overwhelming. I wish I could feel better, but I worry more about him winding up dead one of these days with how reckless his behavior is. He's on a binge and crash about once every week or two. He's been asleep for almost 24 hours now since returning to the house. I wish he could understand how much we love him and how he's destroying his life and it hurts everyone, not the least of which is him. But he's very ill with his mental disorders and addictions.
