Jerry, I am curious as to how you and your family ensure that your brother gets the care he needs.

My father is Bi-Polar, and at one time was stable and doing well. However, now in his old age he refuses medication/care and no one(brothers and sister) will support me in helping him. I am a psychotherapist myself and know that he has the disorder, but am not sure how to help.

Do you petition a person the hospital?
