Hi,
My little (grown up) brother has been diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder. He has had to quit his job and he has moved back in with my mum and dad.
As a family we are trying to do everything we can for him - but sometimes it's hard to know if we should be doing anything more or differently. He was worried about finances, so mum and dad have agreed to manage that for him and he's happy that they are taking care of that. He's enrolled in a new uni course to try and change careers into something more suitable - although he's getting very far behind in his subjects.
He is on medication and has been seeing a psychologist although he's missed his last couple of appointments.
Recently we have discovered that he's been using herbal incense, which we are very worried about. But we haven't asked him about this and he doesn't know that we know. Obviously he is an adult and allowed to make his own choices. Should we talk to him about this, or just let it be?
He knows we're all here to help him but we don't talk to him much about anxiety or whether or not there's anything we can do to help as he doesn't like to talk about it.
If anyone has any advice for us, we'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
