Hello Your Brother might be suffering from a psychotic illness. He needs to take medication. How long this is going on on. However I suggest him take medication. However he can take medications initially till controlled behaviour, However he needs to answer a few of my questions like whether he hallucinates? Is he depressed? sleeps Pattern/ eating behaviour/ any drugs of abuse/ whether talking to self/ any precipitating factor his age/ is this first attack/ any medications given / family history premorbid history are all necessary to come to a final diagnosis. later an advice can be given. an interview with a psychiatrist would be helpful. or you can go online consultation, we are happy to interview him.
