Can a Non-Borderline help a Borderline?: I strongly believe my older brother has BPD

» V720 - I strongly believe my older brother has BPD

I've often wondered why my brother has always acted as if a dark cloud was always following him till I read something on the internet about BPD. Now I understand why he never holds a job, tells me what he thinks I want to hear to shut me up about the bills. And thinks something is wrong with everyone else in the world and he's NORMAL. What I don't know, is what to do about it, he will never admit he needs help of any kind and if he did see a psychiatrist, he'd tell them what's wrong with them. Can anyone possibly shed some insight on what a person can do in a case like this? He honestly believes he's too good to work like the rest of us, he deserves to sit around and lounge all day and just do some small stuff around my house to earn his keep. He did this all his life, it's nothing new. If anyone can tell me anything, I'd really appreciate it. Thankyou, V720
