My neighbor has lost his mind sometime in the last month or so, he's only 45 and rents a house from my grandad but hes been without water and power for over a month ive known him my whole life and id have a beer with him every once in a while. He is a great body man on cars and built a nice house few years ago but lost it. He's slowly become like this over past year but he's flat out crazy now talking about hows he's been in the cia and NASA and special forces. Is there anything that his mom can do?

After reading this, inquiring minds want to know if your"neighbor" is JohnnyLoco?

check for Meth or other drugs first. If there are no drugs then call the county Mental Health Dept. He could just have a simple medical problem that is causing his brain to go wonky. Diabetes and blood sugar levels can make folks stop acting normal.

I would say yes but I know this guy ain't that crazy

Ok. I know he ain't high he's telling the same story to different folks that have checked on him last couple weeks.

Needs some mental health. Could be off of meds or just lost it. Like Skinny said, needs a work up, labs etc. I see it everyday at work.

Get that guy checked by a medical professional.

I've seen urinary tract infection make folks crazy as hell. They receive antibiotics and are fine.

If he won’t cooperate have his mother go talk to the Probate Judge of your county and see what the options are for involuntary commitment. Typically they will keep him just long enough to get his meds right.

She had him picked up 3 weeks ago and they kept him 2 days but it might be like something said above with his body I don't know...

Are you sure he isn't telling the truth?

If he can show me the sword that he killed bin Laden with I'll believe him

The person known as BinLaden was killed in a joint air strike in June of 2003.
So, yeah he's lying.

If he is paying his bills and isn’t disturbing the peace why not let him be. Sounds like he could be an American hero but just wants to keep to his self

I am an INTJ on the Briggs/Myer assessment with 3 degrees, one a Masters in Theology from Baylor, and twenty plus years in the Military...I contain my “crazy”

Heck, that sound more like Perch.

another obvious thing...are there any children around him? If so, then get the children away and call the local mental health department.

A radical change in behavior comes from significant events, substance abuse, exposure, or illness.

No he's got a 15yr old boy that lives with his mom and her husband in a solid environment. I wouldn't let a kid under 18 stay with him without power n water. He's walks to his mom's every morning 2 miles to eat then fishes my pond some evenings to eat. I won't turn my back to him anymore I'm afraid he might think im an enemy combatant lol

I wouldn’t let him around my kin folk dats for damn sure. I’d let him win a one way trip to the Bahamas.
