Report Abuse
Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I think your best friend's brother needs substance abuse counseling. I also think that he needs to see a psychiatrist to get help with medications regarding his substance abuse. I understand that you are concerned for your friend's brother's health. I am glad you can bring this issue up with your friend or their parents, if the person you want to help is not amenable to help.

I hope this helped. Take care and have a lovely day !
