Hi there. I’ve been reading your post and all the comments 😞it’s so hard and emotional dealing with these issues especially when they are young. My brother has schizoaffective disorder and just got a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. It’s horrendous. He did well for 15 yrs. Very well. Meds were great help etc. but the past four yrs have been a living hell. He has literally been living in and out of psych wards for the past 4 yrs. They cannot manage his symptoms. He has a VERY SEVERE illness- not saying that others aren’t- and his medications helped me nail they didn’t. I am in shock and horribly depressed about all this. I feel sooooooo heartbroken for him and it just seems like this is how it is going to be for the short yrs remaining in his life

Yeah, I'm right there with you.
I'm sorry your brother and you are having such a hard time.

Just wondering how you and your brother doing?
