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.

I was there this week n thought I wasn't coming back after a long ride with a taxi driver he took us thru the ghetto to go eat n we was the only white folks there

I know, I was watching your IP address from my CIA computer.

His mom needs to go see the probate judge.

See it everyday. Most people have no idea how bad a UTI will affect a person.

"Somebody call the PoPo!!"

Yes Lord! Absolutely!
Let's trample this man's civil rights because someone thinks he isn't acting normal!

I have an in-law who’s schizophrenic. It sounds like almost the same exact scenario. He also didn’t get bad until the last year or so. He’s doing fine now but he was just pretty much useless for a while. He’s in his 40s has his own house but just gave up an was living like a homeless person. He still has to have pretty much daily supervision to keep him on the level. Dam shame for his dad who had to take care of all this in his 70s. But everything you said matches almost to a tee with what we seen.

Mental illness is often over looked or ignored and it's a crying shame. The reason it's over looked to me is criminals like to use it as a excuse and it's easier to ignore it than deal with it. It's treatable with medication for the biggest part. Intervene and help him out.

So you're an idjit on the Briggs and Stratton scale?

Only to those with Dyslexia

Has a house inspection been done since he is renting from ya'll?

To live without power and water can produce some nasty conditions to live in.
How does he bathe, or does he?
Where'e he use the bathroom and what does he do with the waste?

Whole lot of health factors which could be adding to his confusion.

God Bless,

Yes it has been inspected im not sure where he bathes but he has buckets around the roof to catch water for toilet he gonna get kicked out very soon from gramps for non payment this is this longest my grandad has let anyone stay.. he owes about 4k ...only because of the family relationship did it go that long and my grandad don't need the money... but he told me he's done with him last week when he asked him to come with him and hed get him some groceries and he declined the offer because he needed to sleep...

I’m going with drugs on this one.

Good possibility.

God Bless,
David B.

Sir, good luck with the kicking out process, the squatters seem to have more rights than they deserve

Pecker Checker is right on this one

I threw one out a couple of years ago. Cops told me I couldn't throw her out....I told em I'd drag her down the driveway by the hair and roll her into the road....way the hell before they could get back up here. They left..I went to the trailer and told her she had 24 hours to get out before I wound her hair up around my fist and started dragging. She left.

Dang Troy! You're a slum lord too????? Man of many talents!

Jb, the obvious question to me is, have things been disappearing around your house or neighborhood. If it's drugs, he has to be stealing to pay for them. They don't give that crap away.

No he's still got 5-7k in tools also

Baker Act can have someone committed if they are a danger to them or others. Almost did this to a buddy about a year and a half ago who was experiencing delirium tremens from alcohol with drawals.

That kinda rules drugs out. Must be a breakdown. Sad
