How do i get help for a family member who I suspect is depressed? He is not sleeping, smoking and drinking coffee e nonstop, always have bleak outlook and negative thoughts about life. Talked about hurting his children.
He doesn't want to go to a doctor for a medical check up, last time he went was a decade ago, he stopped taking his meds after 1 week saying the meds is making him crazy. Now he refused to even leave the house.
The local physiatrist hospital told us to get an MO to issue a letter before they can have a look at him. How can we do so when he gets angry when we suggests to take him for medical check up at general clinics?
Got any idea why he refuse treatment? Eg. Shame, fear of having to be put away, having delusions of being persecuted by authorities etc?He doesn't want to go to a doctor for a medical check up, last time he went was a decade ago, he stopped taking his meds after 1 week saying the meds is making him crazy.

Btw, the talk about hurting his kids is really worrying.
