Hello everyone. For two days ago my brother got moved to a psychiatric hospital after having had a seizure (which is not the first time). My brother is a very intelligent person with a very high IQ, but he suffers from insomnia. A couple of years ago he also suffered from depression. He has always had a hard time fitting into school and he didn't use to have a lot of close friends, until approximately two years ago I believe (he turned 20 this September). The friends he has now are also kind of special and some of them suffer from autism, though the ones I've met seem pretty kind and friendly. They just do a lot of drugs most of them as far as I know, and that counts in my brother as well. He has been drinking a lot, smoking a lot of weed, taken cocaine, mdma etc. and now he's just a wreck. His cognitive functions are as low as I've ever seen. He has lost around 15 pounds over the last two weeks, and all he seems to show interest in is philosophy. He is especially interested in absurdism. 

He is very angry at our parents and he hasn't seen our dad in a month now. (I do understand why he is angry at our parents, and I share most of his opinions, though I don't really mind anymore, cause I've gotten used to it and have adapted.) He is also very stubborn with his opinions and he loves to argue, so it's hard to convince him otherwise. Anyway am I going to the hospital tomorrow after school to spend my day with him and talk. 

If anyone has experienced something alike, or has any advice on this I'd gladly listen.
