Mental health issues
I have a brother who was working in Dubai. Suddenly, he quit his job there and returned; now, he makes bizarre claims—insisting that he is God or a king—and remains constantly angry. He does not speak to anyone.

This sounds very difficult for you and your family. Such sudden changes in behavior and unusual beliefs can sometimes be due to an underlying mental health issue, but it needs proper evaluation.

Hi
The priority here is to get a psychiatric evaluation as soon as possible, even if you have to take help from other family members to bring him in. Avoid confronting or challenging his beliefs directly, as that can increase anger; instead, keep communication calm and neutral. Early treatment can significantly improve his condition and prevent worsening. This situation can feel overwhelming for the family, so you may also need guidance on how to handle him safely and effectively. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
