Hi, from what you have described, your brother is suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia.
It is a long term Psychiatric disorder and one of the few Psychiatric disorders that is treatable , but medication needs to be continued for a long period of time and sometimes lifelong, hence we do not call it curable.
Intelligence is not affected and has nothing to do with the illness. Schizophrenia can even affect IITians!
However, there are very good medicines available to treat Schizophrenia and with family support and rehabilitation, a Schizophrenic can lead a completely near normal life. They can work, earn , marry , have kids etc.
The only thing to be kept in mind is that they should take the medicine regularly.
Please consult a good Psychiatrist and start proper treatment at the earliest.
Hope this helps, All the Best!
