Hi,
I'm worried about my brother. He's been arrested many times for DUI, reckless driving, probation violations, ect. Please help me to find help for him, but let me tell you about him first.
A few months ago, I went to a psychologist to talk about him and to seek help for him. I told her about his experimentation in drugs and alcohol. We discussed his stealing from my mom, my dad, and myself. We talked about things I couldn't understand why he did. For example:
-Why he never apologizes for any of the stealing or violence to my mom and I?
-Why he continues to steal and pawn items that aren't his?
-Why when he doesn't get his way he becomes exceptionally violent toward me? He rarely threatens my mom, but I have been told a large number of gruesome ways in which I will die.
-Why he explodes into uncontrollable rage?
-Why he will act like he loves us then treat us without remorse?
-Why he can't accept responsibilty for anything?
-Why he lies about everything, even things that don't even matter?
-Why he tends to live in his "own reality"? He will say that my mom and I promised him things that we never did. He will blame everything, especially his own failures like failing out of college on anyone and everyone else, especially me.
-ect,ect, ect.
I had many sessions with her and all were about him. I think I just went to her because I wanted someone who could tell me what's wrong with him. She said that he would need a formal diagnosis, but that he is probably a sociopath.
My brother is 24 years old and is on probation. My mom and dad tried to get him help when he was 17 and went to family counseling. My brother blamed everything on my parents and came home and said that the counselor told my parents that he needed more "personal freedom."

Note: At this time, he had already stolen my grandmother's car and money from her and my parents. When confronted about it, he proceeded to use the excuse that he "needed it" because my parents didn't give him enough.

I don't think that he will get help on his own. I take that back, I KNOW he will not get help on his own because he believes nothing is wrong with him. But...I don't know what to do. When he doesn't get what he wants, which is usually money, he threatens to commit suicide, then explodes into rages threatening to kill someone...mostly me. I am afraid for my life. I am afraid for my mom's life. He will kill me one day, if he doesn't get help, and I sure he would rationalize those actions too.

Does anyone know any laws to have someone get mandatory help or to be committed? He lives in Georgia, if that helps.
Thank you for your help.
