Welcome to Gaia! ::

What exactly did she tell him? If they suspect he'll be a danger to himself or others, they do that.

I don't think they can hold him for long unless they're still very concerned, so he'll most likely be out soon. I think the attacking did it. *shrug*

Don't worry they won't keep him for long unless they fear for his health. I'm sure he'll be fine.

They can't hold your brother in the psychology ward for more than 72 hours. then he will be reassessed and then they will decide if he needs to stay longer for additional treatment. What was he taken in for?

ouch. Good luck with that.
Hope everything works out, I really don't know much about psyche wards, so I can't help.

domokun

please. Can you help. My family is the most important thing to me.

I`m sure he will be fine. They have to find the drugs and the therapy that will help him and then he will come home.

i guess the reason i didn't type anything was because i'm not sure what i would do in your situation. but now you've gone and made me feel guilty crying .

but i could put in my tarnished two cents; i think that being strong for everyone probably isn't a good idea. if your brother is fighting you, you either need to fight him back (meaning no nicey nice), or you need to find a way in. i mean, i don't know you or him... but if you really care, and he's really going through something tough, then showing that you aren't so strong and okay would be a better way to relate.

hospitals from what i heaa can be very traumatic places to be. he probably feels betrayed, and probably is directing that anger at family in general, you included. you know, you could pm me if you wanted, but that's a generic offer at best for comfort... and there are other people i'm sure you'd rather talk to.

but my best advice is to not try to be so tough...you've got to open up. it may be what he needs to trust you and let you in-seeing that you're human, too.
