i entered this site hoping anyone here could be of help, please do help...good day! i would like to state my brother's history to really know what his sickness is and can it be treated?please do read and help me...my brother is a loner and has difficulty in math and other subjects, but good in music and other arts when he was young. By the time he reached the age of 16 he stopped going to school esp. when he wasn't already studying in the school he badly wanted and he never got into the basketball varsity. Strange things like he sleeps under the bed with no shirt , he broke things and yells everytime he hears noise or someone laughing or chatting, and always irritated ;he runs at the living room at night when were all asleep and he's always angry. Right now after 6 years,he can't speak anymore, music is his therapy at times,we do things for him like make him pee, brush his teeth and also he like went back to being like a baby or a child; at times when he got bored of  daily routines and whenever he gets angry, hungry or tired he has violent seizures to which we can't manage esp. when he hurt all of us and he's very strong and the only man in the house is our dad whose 65 yrs.old already and not that healthy. our 1st doctor said he has aspergers, the other said mental retardation and he was saying like my brother's brain is shrinking, like he regresses and he said there's no cure for it which devastated me,for he was normal before 16 and i missed those normal moments. i badly wanted him to have his own life and i badly wanted to know if there's any cure to his sickness cause it really depresses me for i love my brother soooo much..please2x help me

What have they done for your brother?  CAT Scan, MRI anything?  What do they mean by his brain is shrinking?  Literally shrinking is size or hypothetically as in his brain cells are dying or is it literally shrinking in size?

Has anyone said it could be Dementia?

Rabies is a long shot but you never know.

The first symptoms can appear from a few days to more than a year after the bite occurs.

One of the most distinctive signs of a rabies infection is a tingling or twitching sensation around the area of the animal bite. It is often accompanied by a fever, headache, muscle aches, loss of appetite, nausea, and fatigue.

As the infection progresses, someone infected with rabies may develop any of these symptoms:

irritability
excessive movements or agitation
confusion
hallucinations
aggressiveness
bizarre or abnormal thoughts
muscle spasms
abnormal postures
seizures (convulsions)
weakness or paralysis (when a person cannot move some part of the body)
extreme sensitivity to bright lights, sounds, or touch
increased production of saliva or tears
difficulty speaking

hi thanks for the comment um he had his MRI, and the doctor said as he grow older the brain would be shrinking like any other mentally-illed person.. no one had ever said dementia, one psychiatrist said it's aspergers, then mentally retarded...i don't know, i would like to have a 3rd opinion from other psychiatrists but since we're in a province we have to travel and he easily gets tired which would sometimes lead him to have violent seizures, everything's too risky. he easily gets irritated and tired...
