Can someone help me?

Postby Troublesome » Wed Aug 29, 2007 9:42 pm

I have a friend who's mentally ill. He lost his mother and one of his sisters who were very close to him, and I think that's what started it. 2 years later he went to Fresno to work with his brother, but something happen that made him come back. Now his always had talked about how people should have god in their lives, but untill recently he's never was out of control with it. Now he's saying his the second comming of Christ, and he's thinks he has a rainbow around him when he looks at the ground, but everybody has that. His family tells me that he was devestated when they both died, and he was with his sister when she died. I don't expect a spell to cure him, but maybe something that will make him realise that he needs help becuase everybody including me has tried to talk to him, but he feels that everybody is againt him and that their doing satans work. He's been to a mental hospital, but he wouldn't take the medicine that they gave him when he came out.

Mental illness is a very sad thing. There is nothing that anyone can do until he does something that forces him to seek treatment. No one can make anyone take medication. That is, unfortunately what happens to alot of people who are ill, they don't take their medicine and then revert back to their illness.
My husband works with mentally ill people and it is a challenge to make sure that they are safe and do not harm themselves or anyone else. My experience has been that unless the ill person threatens to or actually hurts themself or someone else, then they cannot be forced to get treatment. It violates their rights as a human being.

I wish I could be more helpful. If I find anyhting that I think may be useful, I'll let you know.
