How do I help my friend, who was recently diagnosed with bipolar schizophrenia?

My friend has recently been diagnosed with bipolar schizophrenia, and I want to find out what I can do to help. He has had a really rough childhood, his father is cold and distant, his mother mostly ignores him and the problems, and his brother doesn’t see him as a legitimate person.

He is a great person, despite all he’s been through (which is far too much to describe in 1100 characters!) and I just want to know how I can reach out to him and be a good friend in this his time of need.
