My older brother has schizoaffective disorder, he doesn't think he has it though, we've taken him to doctors, they medicate and release him 72 hrs later. He really needs to be in a group home or something, with people who can help, but he refuses to be put in one of "those places". I don't blame him, but they have good residential facilities, he wouldn't always be worrying about housing, he'd be in a stable place, but he has a big problem being around other mentally or developmentally disabled people like that, especially those visibly worse than him, he feels like we are just calling him retarded (his words) and trying to put him in a place for "crazy people". He's not suicidal, doesn't want to ctb as far as I know, he has incredible energy and is always coming and going with these raving thoughts.
Most recently this week he's been telling us how he's been on the phone everyday with the fbi and nsa, he feels like he is "working with them", has delusions he is a secret agent exposing corruption, he gets kicked off the public transportation for recording and harassing people on his phone, it sounds like hell, I just want him to be taking care of himself but he's firing on all pistons. His episodes seem to becoming more frequent. I hope he listens, before he gets in more legal trouble and winds up in court spewing his crazy stuff to a judge, but it might just be for the best if they recognize he needs help they can court order him...
