Hi,

I missed that the paranoia was still present although to a lesser degree than it was.
That could be Bipolar or PTSD or both.

Quote:
Persistent symptoms of increased arousal (not present before the trauma), as indicated by 2 or more of the following:

Difficulty falling or staying asleep
Irritability or outbursts of anger
Difficulty concentrating
Hypervigilance
Exaggerated startle response
If he ever gets physically aggressive even one time call the police (911) and have him taken to the hospital to be evaluated by a psychiatrist.

About 20 minutes later he was sitting on the couch and asked loudly...'So, is anyone going to THANK ME for fixing the car?"

I pointed out that I had complimented him and tried to thank him while he was working on the car. He then went on and on about nobody ever appreciating what he does and how he is smarter and better than any of us. That lasted for about 30 minutes non-stop.
I don't know what that is. He does seem to be both annoyed and annoying.
And tiring as you say.

It does seem that when you find a good MD who can help him with the TBI, you can start to see other ways to help him.
