[quote=Anonymous]Sounds very much like a manic phase of bipolar disorder. Contact the monastery. Tell them that you're concerned about your brother, that he probably has bipolar disorder, and request that someone from the monastery contact you if your brother is not doing well. Also tell them that your brother has cut off contact with his teenage daughter, and ask if they would be willing to encourage him to be in touch with her. If he's not a direct danger to himself or others (as in threatening harm), you cannot force mental health treatment (i.e., emergency psychiatric treatment). I would try to appear supportive of his religious calling so that he does not further cut himself off from his family. [/quote]
