In 2021, Brendan Boyle’s brother Kevin experienced symptoms that required medical treatment and medication. Despite this setback, Kevin remained healthy for the following two years and showed no signs of any symptoms. However, in recent months, his symptoms resurfaced and his mental health has deteriorated significantly. Brendan Boyle shared how difficult it has been to watch his brother decline, given his intelligence, achievements, and compassionate nature.

Their family, along with close friends and colleagues, have been doing everything possible to encourage Kevin to seek treatment. Despite their efforts, Brendan expressed frustration with a system that limits the ability of loved ones to intervene in the care of adults with serious mental health conditions. He emphasized that their main focus now is on getting Kevin the necessary medical treatment to aid in his recovery, just as he had previously.

Brendan Boyle serves as a Democrat representing a portion of Philadelphia in the United States House of Representatives and reiterated their commitment to supporting Kevin in his journey towards recovery. He also expressed solidarity with other families going through similar challenges with loved ones battling mental health illnesses.
