Suggest Remedy To Overcome Insecurity And Negative Feelings Towards Others

Hello Doctor,My brother is 23 yrs old and his behavior is a little different for the past one year. He is very suspicious of the people around him, and he doesn't seem to trust anyone. Not even my mom, dad or me. He constantly feels insecure about himself and he has a negative view of the world. He says that it's hard to survive in a world where people are always trying to put others down. He always thinks that everybody is acting weird around him while it's only him who misunderstands people. We asked him several times to come to a psychologist. But he refuses to go. Can you please tell me how to convince him to get him to a psychologist? Thanks!3

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the description given, I see a case of paranoid personality disorder / paranoid schizophrenia. Could be the outcome of possible negative thoughts and worthless feelings. You may need psychiatric intervention instead of psychologist help. Your brother may be hard to convince. But he will definitely be having some good friends, whom he listens. Find them and convince him through them, that he needs treatment.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
