Brother acting strange...?

My little bro had it real rough after entering puberty. He is 15yrs old. Very few friends. In my old home he used to hate the school and my parents noticed he was continually depressed at the end his 9th grade year. We moved to a new home, and a new school for him. At the beginning of his first year in this school he was depressed just like the old school, but recently, he has been coping pretty well. He managed to stay off the depressing thoughts in hanging out with me and playing his PS3. I take him with me when I go play soccer or for any kind of entertainment. All of a sudden, a shocking change in his behavior emerged. I noticed he's become extremely sensitive to sarcastic statements and unintended remarks. I took him to play soccer with me. My friends and I always joke when playing soccer, so he was playing fancy and we started mocking him. Later on in the game he hurt his leg and left, then when we were going home he freaked out at my friend. I took him home and spoke to him in the car. Next day he was good until we were driving home from a movie theater and he was speaking to my friend (whom I was taking home) and while they're talking I interrupted a few times to get the direction of his house, so my brother got so offended and was depressed because of that. When we got home he went outside and started crying, and when everyone's asleep he cries really hard in his room. Since then, he's been acting very very strange. He's been extremely paranoid and aggressive with high temper, thinking strangers want to kill him. He thinks everyone hates him and calls me a hypocrite. He also says all this happened because of me. He's been hitting my other little bro and making him cry. When outside, he stops the neighbors' kids from going in and out of the building we live in and gives them strange looks. My neighbor was going down the stairs and he said %26quot;let me see your fireworks%26quot; the kid gave it to him and he bit it and threw it down the stairs. When we were standing outside speaking to our neighbor's son, he called our neighbor's mom a %26quot;b*tch%26quot;. Another thing is he stares at me very strangely. My family and I were on the road and I told my dad something about the map, out of no where he laughs at me and tells me to go look in the mirror. He's never been this way, ever. My description might not reflect exactly how he is acting, because it's hard to type and it's intensity is worse than letters can explain. My mom didn't eat anything from last night and all of today and my father has been the same, they're also depressed and scared to death.



This behavior is so unusual and I've never seen him behave like this in my life. Can it be a case mental illness or a stage of extreme depression? Will he come back to normal? Should we speak to a psychologist? is there a specific name for this behavior?Brother acting strange...?
I suggest you treat this as an emergency. Don't do anything to alienate your brother right now. Visit a mental health professional (a psychologist or a psychiatrist) as soon as possible. Your brother is evidently going through a serious problem. The sooner a professional takes over, the better it will be for him as well as for the rest of the family.



This must be a very difficult time for you and your family, as well as for your brother. All of you need to stick together right now. Do not get too stressed, though I know it is easier said than done. All of you need to be calm right now. All my prayers to you and your family.Brother acting strange...?
Well there's bipolar disorder, but I don't think this is the case.

please go visit a psychologist for group counseling with the family.Brother acting strange...?
totally talk to a psychologist. Especially if he's getting weirder and weirder. I'm not being mean, I'm serious, there are lot's of things he could be going through, or it could be nothing, but i would totally talk to somebody, especially if he is scaring you.Brother acting strange...?
Forgive me please for asking this.but is it possible that your brother could be takeing some kind of drug. i pray not. but the sudden changes sound a bit like a friendi had years ago.even if its not drugs but some kind of schizophrenia or a personality disorder i urge you and your family to get him to the doctors TODAY.good luckand god bless you all.

kind regards Gail xBrother acting strange...?
It sounds to me like your brother is suffering from extreme bipolar disorder, or some other severe mental disorder. Your parents need to get him help right away. If he is really acting as strange as you say he is then he needs to be seen ASAP, like as in first thing in the morning.



Good luck to you and your familyBrother acting strange...?
Well I can't say for sure, but I think he's ok, I'm guessing he's just noticed that the world(and the people in it) might not always be as they seem, if this is the case then u should be happy for him, he's growing up, I just hope that he doesn't find that as an excuse to be a hypocrite himself, anyway exersice and playing sports is definately one of the best ways he can keep his mind together and enjoy his life and I'm telling u he REALLY REALLY REALLY needs it, like maybe u could sign him up in a club or soccer class or something, and also I suggest that he goes jogging and swimming at least 3 or 4 days a week, and also he might be using some kind of drugs(or he might be considering doing so, or he might consider doing so in the future), again playing sports and exercising regularly(both are needed so he doesn't injure/ hurt his body) is a good cure/prevention for the drug case. Last but not least, tell him to use a condom for all forms of sex, apart from these I don'r think u need to worry about him much. Give him some time to grow up and experience life.
