24 year old, attempted suicide over 18 months ago. Had a total of 4 appointments with a community mental health nurse, recommended self help, 30 mg citalopram.
Then completely disengaged, doesn't take the medication, GP doesn't seem to follow up at all. Lives in a bedroom which involves crawling over feet deep of rubbish to get in and out, threatens suicide and walks out the door every time asked to do any clearing up of any kind, threatens suicide if we offer to clear the room up. The room stinks as does the person. We keep being told they are an adult by every organisation we've made contact with to try and find assistance. He's supposed to have some kind of talking therapy but won't go to the appointments, won't go outside other than in the early hours of the morning (1am for instance) However, will go out and do niche hobby with friends (gaming based) often for days or weeks at a time, be up all night and then sleep constantly when back at home. Is reliant on universal credit, we can't see how he could access accomodation of his own or even be able to live on his own. If we don't provie food, he eats pot noodles and drinks energy drinks. He leaves his washing on the kitchen floor. Cutlery and crockery come down every so often as far as the sink. There is the ever present threat of commuting suicide if hes asked to do anything - how do we get past this fear?
It seems so sad that at 24 all he feels able to do is sleep. Who can we ask for assistance. Not allowed to attend GP appointments with him as he won't give permission.
