Please do not medicate him without the explicit permission and advice of a psychiatrist. He is likely going through depression, and alcohol will only complicate the situation and the chemicals in his brain. If you note down all the symptoms and behavior in detail, the doctor will be able to give you some drugs which you can slip into his food or tea. That way he may become more amenable to meeting him after some time. It does sound like a serious problem and he does need immediate intervention. Some doctors are willing to do home visits in difficult cases. So scout around to see which psychiatrist is willing to visit. If the situation is impossible, you could have him admitted forcibly, working with the doctor, for institutional care. Do not delay, and use every possible means to get medical intervention to him.

How old he is, how much educated, and since how long he is having these symptoms? talking to self may be a hallucinatory behaviour, kindly ask him whether he can hear voices when no one is around (auditory hallucinations).
