Family 'living a nightmare' over son they claim is being held against his will in hospital and being forced to take drugs he does not need after being admitted for minor nasal surgery

Bret Bohn went to hospital after developing a relatively minor ailment

The 27-year-old had been an athletic, healthy field guide in Alaska

But his health then went downhill after he was proscribed drugs

Mr Bohn's parents tried to have him discharged - but were refused

Doctors at the hospital then assumed power of attorney over him

Mr Bohn's family have been in a custody battle for him ever since

The last time they saw him was a supervised visit on Christmas Day

 A family have told how their son's deteriorating condition in hospital turned into a heart-breaking custody battle that stripped them of their right to visit their child.

Bret Bohn, 27, went to hospital in his home state of Alaska after developing a relatively minor case of nasal polyps - overgrowths in the nose - last fall.

He was an athletic, healthy man who worked as a field guide for hunters

But after the polyps were surgically removed, the growths came back and he was prescribed Prednisone, an anti-inflammatory medication.

Mr Bohn's family say it had a devastating effect on him. Soon afterwards, he started to have trouble sleeping, they said. 

In October, his parents, Glenn and Lorraine, took their son to the Providence Medical Center in Anchorage for severe insomnia. Doctors there prescribed drugs and sent him home.
