E.R. and Social Services: A depressed family member spends nine years holed up in room, sleeps for days, awake for days, won't shower for months, hasn't even cleaned room in the nine years been in there, won't socialize, etc. ... finally has violent outburst and threatens to harm us then finally to kill himself. Only six minutes spent with him in the E.R. and they send him home saying he wasn't suicidal, just depressed, and that he just needs to see regular doctor for anti-depressant. His mother was bipolar and same things happened and she was dangerously abusive -- right before she actually did try to take her own life. If someone threatens suicide ... take it seriously! They wouldn't even keep him for observation! Six minutes in the room and sends him home! They obviously don't care and probably hope they'll do it thus not become a burden to society. Anything happens to us or if he does try to kill himself ... going to be lawsuit city!
