do what i've done for my sister: my mother i and few friends went to the doctor and explained all the episods my sister had without adding our opinion,only facts. the doctor was realy understanding and gave us a mild prescription of RISPERDAL 1ml/1mg and my mother put it in her food cose she was in total denial. she is been taking Risperdal for 3 months and she is perfect normal now. at the moment she accepted to see a specialist and her life is normal. we took a risk of doing that,but at the time was no other solution cose she would see every one else seek but her self. the simple ideea of consulting a doctor will turn in to big fight, she would say:'' you go to a doctor if you need. i am perfectly well, you are the crazy one'' i share this with you cose i now the pain you are going through and i know that you want your friend to be the way he use too. good luck and GOD SPEED. .
