My friends son suffers with severe depression,she is at her wits end to know what to do. For several years he was a drug addict and alcoholic,but went into rehab nearly three years ago. The thing is, he has been completely clean for nearly two years now,doesn't even smoke a cigarette, but suffers terrible bouts of severe depression and is suicidal. He feels there is nothing to live for, as he has spoilt his chances of ever meeting someone and being happy with a family. Nearing his 3Oth birthday,is a red light to his mum,as he has always said if he wasn't settled with anyone by then he would definitely end it all.She is in such a state,and within the last couple of days he seems to be allianating himself from the people he loves and who love him. He has never accepted that anti-depressants would be of a help to him,because of the drugs he has taken over the last l5 years.
His mum has tried to talk to him,he is a much loved person, but he can't see his worth. What can she do?
