Behavioural and thought process problems

He believes he is ill and takes huge amounts of medicines. He is also suffering from anxiety and depression which has led him to the habit of smoking. We are in a dire need of psychologist.
You may need to visit a psychologist along with your brother. He may be suffering from fear of illnesses, and thus seeking several doctors to keep checking whether or not he is suffering from any major illness. Cognitive behavioral therapy may be helpful here.
