Hi everyone. He's 24. He started the episode about 2 weeks ago and it's gradually gotten worse. More recently he's been really paranoid about the government being after him, and now it's reaching to my mom. It's been two days in a row of him telling her that he knows she's working with the government to try and get him killed, and he's getting verbally aggressive towards her.

I'm not sure if all communities have this issue but in ours, multiple times a year a mentally ill person murders their mother. She's worried she might be one of them.

I was wondering what you guys think? Is this normal for someone in a manic episode and he like many others likely won't do anything about it? Or should we genuinely be concerned and avoid her being home alone with him at all costs?

He's had two episodes before but he never had these thoughts about my mom.

Thank you in advance
