How to get the person treated wothout telling him...Is there any process?
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome to health care magic and thanks for your query.
I can understand what you are going through and I appreciate your effort to seek online support.
In a 75 years male, this kind of behavior can occur in following conditions:
1) Organic brain lesion (e.g. Head trauma)
2) Medical illness
3) Mood disorder (e.g. Depression)
4) Substance/ Drug abuse
5) Dementia
6) Psychosis (Delusions/Hallucinations)
And many more….
I would like to ask you certain questions-
1) Is there any history of head injury or head trauma or infectious lesion of brain?
2) Is there any history of forgetfulness?
3) Is there any history of sadness of mood, irritability, aggression, loss of interest in routine activities, crying spells, suicidal thoughts, suspiciousness, talking alone etc?
In some cases, drugs can be mixed with food items so that the patient does not come to know about it. In addition, there are certain liquid drops available which are colorless, odorless and tasteless which can be easily mixed with food. However, all this depends on the condition of the patient (uncooperative patient). The final treatment plan rests on detailed evaluation (including investigations like CT/MRI) by a qualified psychiatrist.
I advise you to visit a psychiatrist and start treatment after appropriate diagnosis.
Don’t worry and relax. He will be all right after treatment
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion, rate the answer and leave a review. Wish you good health.

Hello XXXXXXX
Your details points towards "depressive disorder" as he is living separately since 1991 and he has no family/social support.
Don't worry, he can easily be treated with medication and psychotherapy sessions. However, detailed work up is necessary to make a clear diagnosis and planning the treatment.
Secondly, lack of social support is one of the most important factor in this case. So, provide some kind of social/family support to him.
Wish him good health.
