My brother has been suffering severe depression, lost 200lbs, has signs of elhiemer s. He cant walk for well and he is now in diapers. My family thinks its alhiemers. I know he mentioned to me about 4 years ago that he was able to get as much oxicoton as he wants from his doctor. A year ago he called me all upset cause he said he had to change his sobriety date after havig 23 years clean and sober. I believe a year ago when he told me this, he was trying to kick painkiller addiction and had major side effects to where it leads his condition now. He says he doesn t want to live. My mom and his wife was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago. That is a reason to be depressed. this with the combination of kicking painkillers, I believe is why he is in the condition he is now. Could I be right?
