Hello Rh01,

This is only an issue if it is controling his life or impinging on others lives which it definitely is as he has asked his parents/siblings/friends to become involved with it. So, I would suggest talking with him to see if he can recognise this as a problem. I noted that you are from England so what you can do is, contact your local Community Mental Health Team (the number will be in the phone book) and you can make a referral through them or you can do it through your GP. Do not give up, it sounds like your son and your family could do with some help with this.
