> He refuses medication. We haven't spoken. He tells me to get my few fillings replaced and pray to god. He claims to be able to cure me. Usually our conversations drop off a cliff. Too bad because he could really help me by sharing his real med experiences and trials. That's a closed book now.

Refusing medication is unfortunately too common when it comes to bipolar patients. They are notorious for taking it in the first place only when their bipolar-driven behavior causes major upheaval, and then once they start feeling better, they decide they no longer need medication. The difficult feature of bipolar is that when they are in the heat of it, they are totally unaware of how destructive their behavior is.. until they end up on the streets, in the hospital, or in jail.

It must be really hard to watch your brother flounder.
