Thanks for doing this!

My question is: What are things people not suffering from burnout can do to help those who are?

For more personal context: My older brother is currently suffering from burnout so severe it's very scary being near him. I live with him currently so I've seen all of this happen and he's progressing to a state where he can't think, he can't move, he can't do the basic things to keep himself healthy. Keeping fed is a constant struggle.

On the other hand, I'm really really high energy and do 5 million things at once. I want to help him. I have been helping in the ways I can. I will drop everything to help him, but he's so burned out he doesn't know what will help and can't make many decisions without lots of pain. So I do what I can.

I'm wondering if there's some things I can do that might help that I don't see. I've been going about this kinda alone (I have a complicated family life and it's kinda risky for me to collaborate with family on these things).
