I've come here as a father whose 37 year old son is currently manic, delusional, hearing voices, not sleeping, not eating. Trying to seal off the attic, trying to seal off under the house. Talks out loud to these voices. Has wrote a lot of weird stuff on his walls. I'm not sure if I'm missing anything or not..

I could tell something was different about two weeks ago and it has progressively gotten worse. I am currently reading as much as I can to try and understand what is going on so that is how I found my way here.. I'm torn between calling the police to help me take him to a hospital but he doesn't have any insurance. He can't hold a job. He won't go to the hospital if I ask him to...

Should I just stay near him and let him ride out the manic stage? Should I call the police to drag him to the hospital? Do I want him on these psychotic drugs? I have so many questions... I'm pretty sure my son could not come close to using this forum...

If anyone wants to say anything I'd appreciate it.. I'm not looking for answers just some directions? What to expect. In the mean time I'll keep reading as long as he doesn't get violent or anything..
