How to help brother

Name change because this is outing. My brother is going through some sort of mental health crisis. I believe this is the result of long term drug use. I'm not sure what his current drug use is and he says he is clean this week, but I know I can't believe him.

The issues are manifesting themself as severe paranoid delusions. He is constantly messaging and harassing the subjects of these delusions (several people) both publicly and privately (social media messaging).

He has been extorting money from my mum (who he lives with) she called the police about the social media issues, and we have advised and asked the other victims to do this. The police have spoken to him I think under caution but we don't know how to get him to access mental health support services. He's not a danger to himself at the moment but he is deteriorating and we just don't know what to do. Mainly I need to get him out of my mum's house. If he does can she refuse to have him back?

Sorry if this is rambling but I am desperate and just dont know what to do.

Sorry no idea, which area do you live in because it will vary area to area.

I would suggest your Mum formally evicts him tbh Thanks

It's London. How does she formally evict him? He won't leave.

Is this the same brother as the shoplifting making his mother pay fabricated fines?

RandomMess · 12/05/2019 17:11

Serve him an eviction notice. Look up the rules and regs for whether he is a lodger or tenant. Perhaps post under legal?

TBH wait until he leaves and change the locks and worry about legal consequences later?

If he is threatening towards your Mum that is DV and she could call the police and get him arrested/removed by them?

@firemanking don't know if that is another poster but no I haven't posted anything about shoplifting or fines.
