Send him to a place where there is no internet and people have serious, unavoidable problems, like poverty. Then he should do charity work to help those people. At minimum a year of that. So much of the tragedy of westerners trooning out en masse is due to being way too focused on themselves and also on showing off to other people. He is functionally asexual and will never be married. Living a life of service to others is an honorable way to respond to being dealt those cards by his crazy mother. I have seen people worse off mentally who did way more for others than jazz ever has, there isn't much real excuse in wallowing in personal tragedy when it is clearly possible to do something meaningful in spite of just about any tragedy.What could you even do to fix a Jazz?
Failing that I would legit send this kid to a psych ward for a couple months. There are usually two levels of inpatient psych care, one is reserved for people who are a risk to others as well as themselves, jazz would not go there. The other side of inpatient psych is full of people who do have serious problems but are only a real risk to themselves, the security is much lighter, he could do well there. Those places control food so you can't use it to act out or hurt yourself, and then provide intensive therapy and education to help him deal with the feelings he currently eats. He would have a chance to develop an identity outside of his family or tv show. He has a mood disorder and an eating disorder. That combination has poor long term outcomes, intensive treatment is sensible imo. Places like that have limited visiting hours because that can really cut down on any negative influence that may exist from abusive family or romantic partners. Even if you have a good family it is good to learn to deal with problems on your own so that you can gain some self esteem from having done it on your own.
I don't think either of our suggestions are that far off from each other. Basically stop being self centered and build a life away from family of origin. Anything to make that happen would work.
