I have a brother who has been dealing with mental issues and struggled without diagnosis for a long time even though my sister and I put two and two together so we had to deal with the side effects of anger .

I'm stubborn. I've dealt with friends having it but having it close to home is definatly hard.

So I need to know how to get him to listen.

Don't get discouraged if you can't reach him. My wife has tried to reach me at times and I keep thinking she's trying to kill me or she's part of some elaborate game that I made up.
She tries to tell me differently and I don't listen at times. No matter how hard she tries to reach me.

It is really hard whether it be a spouse, sibling or child. I know when my husband was sick he didn't want to listen to his parents or me. His siblings kept there distance. If he is getting really bad your best bet is to either get him to the ER or call the Crisis Team (from you local Couseling Service) and they will tell you the best way to get help. It is difficult but you need to do what is best for him whether he likes it or not. I will keep you in my prayers.
