Drug Induced Schizophrenic Brother?

Question by kuz: drug induced schizophrenic brother?
Hi, my brother has been diagnosed with schizophrenia last year from spending over $ 150,000 from an insurance settlement he got. He is 19 years old and he is still doing drugs such as, meth, crack and cocaine. This morning he tried to attack me with a knife thinking I tried to kill him by putting tape worms in his drink (while I was sleeping), his mind is gone its very sad what should I do i’m trying to get my parents to take him to a doctor so they can evaluate him as a danger to society, i’m scared for my life and his. What approach would you take??

You need to get him sectioned for evaluation. Schizophrenia has a total hold over people where they are not responsible for their actions. However, safety of all relatives and friends must be paramount so immediate actions has to be taken. I think you must do it now.
