Thank you so much for that book suggestion, which I've just ordered.
If I can get him away from the clutches of that system, I hope to do so, as he is a really big-hearted, well-intentioned, creative and funny guy whose potential and life force have been squandered and suppressed by his involuntary incarceration in that system.

Yes, he is indeed addicted to carbs and sugars, which he gets plenty of at his facility. He and the other patients are all smokers too, which he knows is unhealthy, but I think the patients pursue feel-good chemicals because their lives are so controlled and lacking in other pleasures. He dreams of a girlfriend too, because of course sex is verboten and repressed by the drugs.
I look forward to reading that book. Thanks so much, Debbie!
Best wishes for your brother getting real healing. There is a charity called Metabolic Mind that may be helpful, founded by parents of a son with bipolar disorder. The keto diet has given him his life back. They have videos on YouTube that are excellent. It is exciting to see more doctors coming onboard with metabolic therapy for mental illness.
