Hi there dr my brother who is 53 lives with my 88 year old aunty the problem is he has been taken to the mental health ward he is seeing things?

Visual hallucination: "seeing things" isn't always a psychiatric problem, esp if it's a new symptom. Other causes of visual hallucinations include poisoning (incldg alcohol), seizures, metabolic abnormalities, and others. When a caretaker like your brother falls ill, there can be two victims: your aunt is at risk too. Ask the hospital if they have services to help your aunt in your brother's absence. Good luck.

Possibly: I'm not sure of the question, but i wouldn't be surprised that a 53 year old who needs to live with an 88 year old aunt (and be taken care of by that person) would have some mental difficulty. If he is seeing things - that is, having visual hallucinations, then going to the hospital is the appropriate intervention.
