Don't sugar coat it, he would basically be ending the relationship. It will also force the roommate to figure out a new living situation on top of all the other things: Working on stabilizing, Hospital Bills, Job Loss, dealing with shame/stigma in their friend group. This is part of why these things snowball downward in a positive feedback loop.

If it's going to be a chronic ongoing issue, I agree that OP should move out.

Yeah, the finance thing is what bothers me thinking about OP moving out. I hope his family can help him because if he’s visibly mentally unwell, poor guy is gonna have a hard time finding a new flatmate. It’s just a sad situation and I feel for both of these people.
