thank you for your reply,

we are worried about my 23 yr old brother. for weeks he has been sitting in his room and only comes out to eat dinner with us every evening, when he is asked whats wrong he says nothing and just tries to ignor us.

Tonight we had an arguement which turned into an aggrsive fight as he totaly 'flipped'. when we told him we was going to call an abulance as his behavoir was out of character he calmed down and began to tell us about this delusion he has been having.

He began to tell us that these people have been following him all his life tryng to get information out of him as he thinks he has am ability that no one else has. he insists we know these people but we dont and when we say we dont know them he says that we just think he is crazy and didnt tell us as he knew we wouldn't believe him.

we found paper in his room with mathematical 'equations' where everything in your life adds up to numbers and he thinks he can predict the futre with these and has a lense in his eye where he can actually see it. He keeps saying it started when he was age 4 or 5 when these 'people' started following him and he says he is going to go out and find them again.

since birth he has always had a healthy mental health up untill the last few weeks but he has recently given up smoking cannabis.

we dont know where to start on getting help as how do you convince someone that help is needed when he insists he doesn't need any?

can you give us some advice on how we go about getting him the right help?

thank you
