Firstly, it's commendable that we asked for prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by Jesus' name we can be saved. This is a fundamental truth to remember, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
God tells us in the Bible WEB 1 Peter 5 7 "casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."

Let's pray together.
Heavenly Father,
We-come-before-You-lifting-up-this-family-and-especially-our-brother,-who is struggling with mental illness. We-ask,-Lord,-that-You-will-bring-healing,-peace,-and-calm-to-his-mind-and-heart. Help him to think clearly, to distinguish between reality and irrational thoughts, and control verbal attacks and speaking violence.
We also lift up the rest of the family, Lord. We ask for the supernatural strength, more than we can have without your grace to endure your patience, wisdom, and love as they deal with this challenging situation. We ask you to keep them bound together as one. Help their home be one of peace and not conflict. Comfort them with the knowledge and expeience that-You-are-always-with-them-and-Will- not leave nor forsake them and give them the grace they need each day. Help them also remember to speak the truth in love as they may need to confront the issues and remind them of their inability to heal their brother and provision of receiving God's mercy when they may confess the situation to be 'to-much-to-bear.

Finally, as things get complicated, remember we can rest in the hope we have Eph 2:12 "that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world." Because now in Christ Jesus, ye who were sometimes far off are made nigh by the blood of Chris. Be not shy by sayiing the blood of Jesus has made us nigh to Jesus and to God. Because of the blood of Jesus we now have someone to help us.
