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.

Do not keep him in dark, tell him straight that he needs a doctor to control his mood swing. If aggreed take him to your family Physician first and follow his advice.
