You must take control of his medication before he stops taking them without your knowledge. You also must take him to his therapy sessions to absolutely ensure he attends. This is the only thing you can do otherwise he will get worse. I don't want to worry or scare you but trust me on this I really do know what I am talking about. I am not a qualified therapist but I have studied mental health for a long time! What you are saying is a familiar story of rapid decline!

What mental illness does he have?
My boyfriend and mom have depression and anxiety and at one point I came down with anxiety. You need to be supportive, encourage him. Take him to a psychologist, maybe even a different psychologist. Medication is one way to deal with a mental illness but there may be other resources too, like talking about his feelings, exercise, mental relaxation.
try to find some boys his age to hang out with and do manly things with him even if you don't like it.
it might not seem like much but not all men feel like men because of how they are treated or told what they can and can't do. I don't just mean telling them they can't get upset but that they can't play sports or can't play violent video games stuff that boys/men enjoy doing.
This is probably not the best site to get advice for that kind of issue. I would look for support forums specifically for his illness.
