Knowing this young man, my approach to him has not been to tell him he is mentally ill.

Never said such to my brother either.

I remained his friend and didnt banish him from my life. It would not cross my mind to suggest to him to see a psychiatrist.

My brother kicks it for a couple years and goes back then I don't see him for 15 years or so. He just walks away. I have never said much to him about it except for talking Scripture, a conversation that he instigated everytime. I have always accepted his friends. HE walks away. At our ages this could be the last time. It's his choice.

Keep praying as I am sure you do. Obviously he is struggling. I hope you get to see him again.
