Hi
It seems that he is suffering from schizophrenia.
He didn't have insight regarding his illness, so take him to nearby psychiatrist for management. There are medicine and long acting injection available . With medicine his condition can be treated.

Health Tips
Try not to convince him because it's possible he lacks insight that he needs help. Act on his behalf. Consult a Psychiatrist. You have the right to do so as his gaurdian. Your permission and understanding is necessary, and is more than enough for him to get the treatment he needs.
I hope this helps.
