After 11 days since I filled out the application online, and two hours on hold we finally spoke to representative and got my brother Tim back on medical.
He also is back on food stamps, and he will likely apply for disability do to his mental illness next month.
but first we need to get him seen by a doctor, and get a official diagnosis and possibly stronger Medication.
It feels so good to finally have some good news, prayers are being answered slowly but surely.
Getting better little by little.

Yes, next step is getting him a doctor and hopefully a official diagnosis and something better to help him, as this just doesn't seem to be working everyday is the same....

Yes now that he can get a personalized doctor it will help immensely, he's not going to like it but I feel like a full overnight visit would help the doctor and hospital see how extreme his case is and how olanzapine is not doing it.... Today was really bad he even told OHP provider about the voices, then kept on today about feeling like they were going to hurt him and they were real and trying to make him look crazy as he said.... He still thinks it's all so real and he feels in danger he got all scared because his phone wasn't working he said the voices must have shut it off.... I just let my mom talk to him at a point as I had to get fresh air it's so difficult to calm someone and convince them everything they hear is not true...

Thank goodness for some good news concerning your brother. Famous old saying by the late Bruce Lee is "Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one."
