One thing to think about for your brother (actually it is something that everyone needs to think about doing, whether there is mental illness involved or otherwise) is to talk to him about his execution of a durable financial and/or health care power of attorney, so that he can name an attorney in fact to handle his healthcare decisions and/or financial decisions if he is unable to do so. If things go south for him, and he finds himself in a position where decisions need to be made for him but no one has the legal authority to do so, then the courts might have to step in; and this could prove to be expensive.
