I'm hearing that:
1. You're worried something is seriously wrong with your brother.
2. That he'll be "taken away" if he seeks medical attention.

If what you mean by, "taken away" is that he'll be placed in an institution for necessary medical treatment, what's wrong with that?

Residential behavioral health care facilities are nothing like they were or what you see in the movies. People are not treated as caged animals wandering around in day rooms mumbling to themselves while an old black and white TV shows bugs bunny cartoons 24 hours a day.

If it were my brother, I wouldn't hesitate with seeking a doctor.
