You sound like a wonderful person to have supported your brother in this way. I'm very sorry he is struggling so much and I can understand that you want to help him as best you can.
Could you go to the doctors and explain you are there on behalf of your brother whom you are worried about? I understand getting him to the doctors is a difficult thing and perhaps if you went yourself and got some advice from them as to how to help him it would be easier.
As for whether or not it will go away? It might do, it might not. The mind is a strange and wonderful thing, and everyone reacts to distressing times in their lives in very different ways. What is obvious is your brother needs help now, whether or not it is a permenant condition or a temporary one from what you've described he is in a great deal of distress.
'm afraid I can't offer much more advice, but what you are doing is great. Try and continue to be supportive and caring and helpful, when someone is going through something of this nature they need continual support and understanding. Please don't forget to look after yourself as well though, it must be very difficult for you to see your brother go through this and to have little idea of how to help him through it. He is a very lucky person to have such a caring person to be there for him.
Sorry I haven't been much help but hopefully someone will have more useful advice.
Take care
