Is There Any Abnormality In Having Spiritual Inclination?
Hi doc,
This query is concerned with my brother.
He has done btech and after that 3yrs of job with an mnc. Age 28 now.
Problem is since past 1-2 yrs he has got some spiritual inclination and now is kind of drawing himself back from family affairs and wants to become a monk but only after permission frm my mothr.
He has left his job n right now living with us. Behavior is normal except for he sleeps late in night n so rises also very late. Tries to stay secluded. Does meditation etc but never in a disciplined way. One night few days back he took a bath at 2am. He is emotionally detached with every one or atleast tries to be.
We want him to meet you but before tht wanted to confirm if u see any psychological abnormality in this case.
Would appreciate ur immediate response and some contact details.
Thanks,
Deepika

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The behavior pattern is little worrying. Normally every people should show some inclination towards spirituality at the beginning of adulthood. Your brother's behavior in that context is normal. But the activities are a bit abnormal. We can say morbid faith disorder. Not fully. Engaging him and taking him to another place for some one month or so should help change the attitude. Also take him to a place where troubled and challenged people live.
He might need psychotherapy. Change in lifestyle. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
