How do I help my brother who is in the throws of psychos get help? He can act normal in front of police so the Well Check Visit said he was fine! Yes he pays bills but list 30 pounds and comes to my house scAring me Nd my family. I am afraid . I wish he would hit me so I can call 5150. He says terrible things. Ben told 5150 is a terrible thing for people who resist! Help anyone please I need help and advise. I love my brother and would take a biker for him if that would help. I just want to die!

Talk to psychiatrist and record his voice or something on him which he has written or may do. Or simply talk to psychiatrist

Well your first priority is to your own family. If he is threatening and scaring them like this you need to protect them and yourself.I know you love your brother but you can't help him if he refuses to get help. I know that's hard to accept but it is true.

Protect you and your family first.

Does he actually have to physically hurt you to get help? What about a restraining order? Then you can call the police if he is in violation. Do you mean psychosis?, like a psychotic break? Can you at least get pepper spray to have on hand? Exterior motion sensor lights, security video cameras are very cheap now. Tell neighbors to watch for him and call for help. Let his doctor know. Doctor may not be able to speak to you without power of attorney, but you should notify him of the behavior.

Hello Thankyou for your reply! Sorry it took me this long but today I have some clarity. If we do not care for ourselves firist our own self live and preservation we have nothing and that leads to self distruction.

Exactly

Being a care giver is tough. If you do not care for yourself, you cannot care for anyone. Good clarity.
