Hi everybody,
I'm hoping someone could give me an idea on whats wrong with my brother.
My brother's name is Jesse and he is 16. My brother has always been shy, but in the last year and a half he started to avoid all social events, and stopped talking to his friends. I have three other brothers and Jesse used to always talk nonstop with them and with me. He doesn't do that anymore. The only time he goes anywhere is to church, and my mom has to force him. He doesn't even go to the movies, and the last time we went, he said that he couldn't focus on what was going on and that he found no enjoyment at all.
He says that he can't find any enjoyment in anything anymore, and that he has a ton of thoughts going on in his head.
He also won't use his left hand, his reason being so he can keep it clean. He also says that he has no feeling in his arms and legs.

Well, last night he started crying for no reason and then fell asleep.
When he woke up he started screaming and crying, and then started shaking. He was also throwing up. My mother called an ambulance and they took his vitals and they were stable. They ended up taking him to the hospital.
He has had a brain scan and other tests before and they found nothing.
His doctor wants him to see a psychiatrist, but my parents don't want him to see one.
I am really worried about him. I have never seen or heard him like he was last night. I want to help him. Please, if anybody has an idea on what is wrong with him please tell me.
Thanks in advance,
Abby
