Maybe he could start selling or donating some things ??
Do you think he could have Bipolar ??

I don't know how much my brother would be willing to part with. He definitely could sell a lot of it.
I don't know if my brother has bipolar disorder. If he does, I would think it was bp2. I don't think he has ever been full blown manic, and I have never seen or heard of any psychotic behavior from him. But since bipolar disorder is a spectrum disorder, who knows. If he does have it, that would mean that all three of us have it (Sis, Bro, & me). That would seem odd how prevalent it was in my family. It already is now.
My brother has had depression, but the most significant was when he left the navy. He was career navy. However, at the time, he had several severe stressors going on. I wouldn't say depression was frequent in his life, but I am not sure.
Growing up, I think some bipolar behavior was "normalized". Also, my brother wasn't in my life for a long time because of our age difference and the navy.
