((((EV))))

First of all, I want to say I'm so sorry you're going through this with your brother. I hope you know I can sympathize completely, been there done that.

It sounds like grandiosity to me. Is his diagnosis bipolar? It could be schizophrenia, could be psychosis, which consists of delusions and hallucinations.

From experience, I would say not to "confront" him about the things he says. Simply talk to him and ask him questions, etc. My brother is schizophrenic and I've seen him become highly agitated by people telling him things aren't true.

You've got to remember that people who are in psychosis, or are delusional actually BELIEVE the things they say and it's just gonna piss them off if you tell them it's not true. know what I mean?

Well, that's just one opinion though. I sure hope things work out for you and bro.

((((((Hugs to you both)))))))))

Take care,
Kimberly.
