Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Hyperactivity, mood swing, unable to focus, decrease sleep, big talks etc are symptoms of mania and you brother may have manic episode. In that case, initially psychiatrist would try to control him with antipsychotic and if he does not control with one, then mood stabilizer could be added. Just wait for few days and in case, he does not improve, you can consult his psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
