Brother Unstable behaviour post breakup
Hello My brother since last two months is showing extremely erractic behaviour. He is unable to stay at home at night and feels his thoughts are not in his control. He had been consuming alcohol for about a year of so but this sudden change in his behaviour has come about after his breakup. He keeps wandering outside home at night and stands in the road alone. Cries at night and speaks random things that doesn't make sense. Keeps talking about the breakup feels guilty of his mistakes feels guilty of his behaviour that he is letting down everyone. I had recently consulted a psychiatrist and started his medication as mentioned but he says he is feeling worse with the medication. He feels like he is forgetting everything and sense of vomiting prevails. He is not getting better and every night is facing the same thing. We are clueless how to help him and what's wrong with him. During the day he realises that he is not behaving well and he should not roam around at night but again same.

If this is getting unmanageable at home, it may be time to consider inpatient admission for detoxification and perhaps even a rehabilitation centre if one is near you or, if you can get him to an out of state one. Alcohol consumption should ideally be addressed first and then the depression perhaps as a result of the breakdown of his recent relationship. If outpatient detoxification treatment isn’t working, then pls consider a facility that does inpatient treatment and rehabilitation services Depression treatment may also be warranted and can be initiated after detox treatment in a week’s time. Longer term management can include CBT.
