[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother has something like paranoid schizophrenia but his mood is cyclical, so maybe bipolar. He will not get help and has not been diagnosed. He believes in fake things (like a Russian agent giving him a heads up about a terrorist attack, or that a young woman in Korea is in love with him, or that Dick Cheney ruined his life, or that he is invincible from things like coronavirus, I could go on).  it rules his life. He hasn’t been able to get a job in decades, he was once very intelligent. I am grateful for the times when he seems normal. I’m always worried about when his mood will change again. [/quote]

Sounds like schizoaffective personality disorder. https://www.nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Mental-Health-Conditions/Schizoaffective-Disorder

It has subtypes, like bipolar type, paranoid type, etc. Very hard to maintain treatment because when they feel fine, they stop medication. Very hard to remain employed for long and eventually to get a job at all as the delusions always come back.[/quote]
