Stephen Balser hasn't added a story.
On July 29, 2015, Kane was arrested during a delusional psychotic episode caused by bipolar illness. Currently he is being held in Bellevue Hospital until his condition stabilizes.
Kane is 24 years old and has been battling depression and OCD since he was a child. He was diagnosed as bipolar two years ago. Since then he has experienced extreme episodes of mania and suicidal depression, including 4 hospitalizations. Through many years of treatment he has always been fully cooperative with his healthcare professionals.
For a time, after his first episode, Kane stabilized, had a job, was involved in two bands and carried on a normal social life. But he was suffering more than anyone realized. Last spring his illness escalated, resulting in a month-long hospital stay. When he transitioned to outpatient treatment it proved to be both premature and destabilizing.
The Balser Dulaney family is facing unexpected and enormous costs in getting Kane the legal and medical attention he needs. They have been counseled that people suffering from Kane’s condition can in fact recover and lead a normal life. However, the path is long and costly.
As anyone who knows him will tell you, Kane is a sensitive, smart, talented, compassionate person. Kane’s family wants nothing more than to have him back and healthy. They want Kane to have a future and to feel like he can truly hope to have one.
Please help us support Kane and his family. All funds will go directly to his legal and medical treatment fund. Any sized donation is meaningful and appreciated. Please feel free to share this with anyone you think would like to help.
