asked

My sister was hospitalized a year and a half ago and diagnosed with encephalitis. Since then, she has not fully recovered, experiencing memory loss, alarming behavior changes, and substance abuse. Her behavior includes snorting Ritalin, excessive drinking, and erratic actions, causing fear for her safety and that of others. Before her hospitalization, she was very capable, but now she struggles with basic tasks and has no memory of recent events. We are concerned about the potential for harm to herself or others and are unsure how to help her. Could you please provide guidance on what might be happening and what steps we can take to assist her?
