Brian

FROM NORTH CAROLINA

Hi my name is Brian. My brother has PTSD and is constantly freaking out. He claims to hear voices and a lot of other weird things due to his illness. He won't go into public or into any stores were there is too many people in it. He gets weirded out conversing with anyone he doesn't know and is on a lot of medication which I give him. He can't cook for himself. Its like having an adult child and is quit sad. I only wish that he could have a normal life and be happy... he deserves to have a full happy life like everyone else but the hopes of that happening are very slim now. We just hope that we can maintain his illness and get thru it one day at a time...
