Sounds like he needs some help. You should see if you can get someone to come see him. There're adult protective services that proxy the mentally ill. If he gets the help he needs medicine, help cleaning and organizing his home, counseling, etc., he should be just fine. But you have to take that step and report that he needs the help, otherwise maybe no one else will, and he may stay in that situation for his entire life.
Also the way he is living now, he is facing a lot of health risks, on top of whatever mental illness he may have! So please, take that step and help him!
You may be able to do it anonymously, but I don't know. If he does find out it was you, will be quite mad for a while, but in the long run you are doing it because you care about him!
Is it normal to live wilfully in abject squalor?

You and him will be in my prayers.
