The person is my 26 year old son. He's ****ing brilliant in a lot of ways. He's tried moving out on his own 6 times now, only to crash and burn every time. The worst being him living homeless on the streets of LA for about 3 months. As part of his many issues, he's got anosognosia.

So trying to get him to see a doctor is virtually impossible. He's self taught and forgotten more about software and computers than I'll ever know. He can talk to you about quantum physics and string theory until your head explodes. He plays proficiently on violin, dulcimer, guitar (electric, acoustic, and classical), and all types of keyboards. The dude is amazing. He just can't settle in with "normal life".
Stop being so cavalier.
