crazy or bewitched?
one of my closest friends (and my favourite ex) had a mental breakdown recently. he was hearing things, extremely paranoid, even tried to attack his brother. my first thought was "schitzophrenia". the breakdown was induced by legal incense, or fake weed. (fweed, as my friends call it.) apparently, he took one hit and thought he was losing his mind. this is when the voices and paranoia started. and even after he came down from his high, he didn't get any better. i went to his house last night and saw him for the first time in awhile and his mother grabbed me aside and told me that a witch is terrorizing him. now, i believe in witches and demons, but that is NOT what is wrong with my friend. he is extremely ill. his family is keeping him cooped up in the house and won't let him leave for more than an hour at a time. his mom is brainwashing him with this bewitching bullshit and its just making him more and more sick. i don't know what to do. i had a thought that i could call the cops, but what would i say? i care about him a lot. and i would never dream of betraying him, but he needs more help than his family can provide for.

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Is he a minor? You could call social services and say his parents are neglecting to give him medical care.
Even if he isn't a minor, if you think he is being endangered by his family you should report it.
Good luck,
