[|Human|] We have a 39 year old son who has some physical handicaps which seem to be moving to mental illness. He does not think he needs help. He cannot connect the dots anymore. We are older and cannot help anymore. He is getting evicted and will be homeless. He is in total denial on this and it is making us ill. He cannot be homeless with his health issues. We have been to countless agencies for help and not making progress. He has a housing voucher which he may lose and is on SSI. Any suggestions?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Physical handicap will not lead to a major psychiatric illness except developing a depressive episode. And depressive episode can impair the judgement. Instead of visiting various agencies, I would advise you to take him to a psychiatrist. Even though he feels he is not ill to let him discuss all issues with a psychiatrist who can evaluate him in detail and assess regarding the diagnosis. Further his psychiatric disability may also get added up to his physical handicap which can give him an added benefit. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
