My brother is suffering from manniac &Depression psychosis. He under went treatment for nearly 13 years. He took lithium (not regularly). Now he is 39 years. He is separated from his family. He has a son. They are living in America. Basically he is not interested in medicine line. He is a doctor. He has not practised at all. He never accepted that he is suffering from this problem. But 3 years back he agreed to it. He took medicine regularly for two years (maintanance dose). Then he stopped that also. My father is 65 years old. My father is only taking care of my brother. Now my father is suffering from respiratory problem. How to make my brother lead a normal life. He is not getting sleep at all. I feel that my brother can work like a normal person. He talks with us nicely. He is so polite, humble and kind. Since he is separated from his family, he is feeling depressed and not mingling with others. Please advise.
