Has anyone ever asked your uncle to say what effect he felt the medications had on him? Could it be that he says he is not sick because he doesn't want to cope with how he is treated if he admits he needs help? If he felt he could get real help, help that he wants rather than what he feels someone else wants, might he then go for help? Maybe not; I'm asking.
