Either you put up $7000 cash, your home, or you pay a bondsman about 10-12% of that amount.

Or you ask your lawyer if he thinks he can get the bond reduced.

If you don't have or don't want to pay $7K, then you can: (1) post property (where no cash is needed); (2) use a bondsman, who will require about $800 to post bond; (3) request a bond reduction; or (4) break him out of jail, which I do not recommend. His mental illness plays no role in him posting bond, and may contribute to the bond beign higher.
