He needs to see a counsellor he has experienced many life changes and they are trained to see him through this.

Answer 2

I am so sorry about your brother,depression is an awfull thing,Im taking antidepressants and have for over 4 yrs now, all you can do is just be there for him, carry on doing what you are doing, give him all the support he needs, maybe think about getting some st johns wort, its herbal and helps depression allot, but maybe you should get him to see a doctor, a different one to who he saw last time.I understand it must be so heart wrenching to see him go through it,so if you need to talk,ill be glad to help,if I can.good luck.
