[quote=Anonymous]In recent years, it's become apparent that something is wrong with my sibling. It seemed like coming-of-age moodiness at first, but it has worsened over time. Over the past six or so months, our family has come to realize it's a mental illness. He's having delusional and suicidal thoughts that indicate he's a danger to himself and possibly others, but we don't know how to get him help. He has now pushed everyone close to him away. He doesn't want therapy. When a family member recently tried to get him emergency help because of his suicidal thoughts, he instead only talked to the counselor about every day stress that we all experience instead of admitting his suicidal thoughts, so he wasn't admitted because he wasn't seen as a danger to himself. We don't know what to do. The thought of my brother being so unhappy hurts, and the thought of him taking his life scares me. Any thoughts/insight on what to do?[/quote]
