What's wrong with him? We're so Scared!?!
Question:
What's wrong with him? We're so Scared!?
My cousin is really sick. He is losing a lot of weight. He has terrible mood swings. He has two groups of friends, the nice ones he knows from high school baseball and then the bad kids. His good friends are just as worried as his family. He is becoming violent. One night him and his friends were hanging out and he just started to punch himself HARD. So hard he left bruises. He's even been seeing hallucinations, though rarely. He also is compulsively lying, no one can ever say when he's telling the truth or a lie. His parents have taken him to a doctor, but seeing as he's 19, the doctor can't tell them ANYTHING. His parents had him take a drug test and it came up negative but there was a type of film over the sample. I'm not sure what drugs the drug test was for. His eyes AREN'T blood shot and his pupils aren't dialated. He has a very addictive personality. Could this be drugs or a mental illness? My aunt thinks it may be Borderline Personality disorder. Please help ANYONE!!!!
Answers:
It could be borderline or Bi-Polar disorder. Whatever it is, I think you should take your cousin to a psychiatrist so that they can figure out and possibly deal with what is wrong with him, asap; it doesn't sound like drugs to me, it soungs like a serious mental issue. My Rx is to get him to a psychologist as soon as you can, so you can figure out what is wrong with him and go from there.
