My brother has been admitted to the acute psychiatric unit now. He was assessed by their outpatients clinic and they agreed he was at serious health risk due to not eating so admitted him under the mental health act. It is both an incredible relief to know he is getting help and so sad and painful to see him in this situation. He has no insight into bring unwell. I really hope his health improves significantly as they adjust his meds.

Welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear how rough things are for your brother and all his loved ones. At the same time, I hope this admission is the beginning of him getting the help he deserves. It's a tough road, so please look out for yourself. I have been in a similar space as someone who was acutely unwell. I don't think I'd be here without the mental health system @ForestBat

Please take care.
