I think my doctor at the time mentioned bipolar 3 - this was 25 years ago, so I'm hazy on the details. He was the one that put on lithium - and, long story short - it caused me to pass out when I was driving, totaled my car but fortunately hit no one.
Lithium can also cause weight gain.
If you are bipolar , could it be that your brother is schizoaffective rather than schizophrenic? Shizoaffective and bipolar are related.
