Sick in just 6 yrs post virus & inhabitable home

An adult was completely normal until 6 yrs ago, pre illness full time career, health savvy, just a precious, helpful human. Then they got covid and a possible head Injury, then began living in toxic mold. Started with quick onset of paranoia, fevers, MRI showed possible encephalitis. Now this person has schizophrenic like behaviors. Their mother had 5 exhausting years, having them IVC’d just to be sent home and now this individual is far too paranoid to seek help. Mother tried to get guardianship but with no luck. Social workers wont help. Just because this individual can answer some basic questions, and even though they’re self neglecting, can’t work they are consider “competent”. Their mother also was ill, but did best she could to get them help. The mother ended up dying of their illness leaving this planet brokenhearted over their adult child. Witnessing this reality is cruel. Family members don’t understand, gas light family members that care. They won’t provide support that will lead to healing. There is always a root cause, healing can happen, but people have to work together. 💔
