I’m looking for some advice, any advice really. My little brother who is 14 (I’m 32) has severe PDA (pathological demand avoidance) and autism but the system is failing him terribly. He constantly threatens suicide, last night he jumped off of a bridge when a train was coming - thankfully he landed on the grass bank. My mum has had zero help from anyone and is continually passed from her GP, to child psychologist, to CAMHS, to social work and around the ever lasting cycle goes with no one supporting him. He desperately needs medication, his anxiety is through the roof, he can flip from one minute to the next. He can’t handle or understand his emotions. His mood swings are terrible. Yet no one wants to helps. Even last night when we took him to A&E, the treatment from the mental health assessment team was disgusting, because he had been waiting hours, he had a meltdown outside, they turned up and he shouted leave me alone I need 5 minutes - I explained that when he says this it’s because he needs to be alone to gather himself yet they then refused to speak to him stating he was aggressive and that it was behavioural. The police and security guards were there and advised that he had not been aggressive the whole time he was there.
It’s terrifying. I don’t even know where to start to try and get him the help he needs because every door I chap on gets slammed in our face and my mum is always told “your going a great job, keep it up”. That doesn’t help anyone.
Does anyone have any advice, any suggestions because we are truly at our wits end.
Thanks in advance
