He says he has a general disinterest in everything, and he doesn't care if we ask him what he wants to do and what he likes and dislikes. From what I understand, he has a depression problem and we put him through professional therapy and everything. Things seemed to improve a lot when he went to college after his suicide attempt last year. He's only 18, and he is an undeclared major. Whenever I chat with him online, he sounds really..sad. I don't know what to do becuz my bf and I entertained him a lot and we tried to expose him to many new things out there. What can I do to help him?

Hi, Looks to me that he cannot find and purpose in his life at the moment. He not looking to be entertained, however good the intention, he is looking for purpose. He seems come good when he has something meaningful to do, such as going to college, maybe you could steer him into further studies.

is he on any meds for his depression, maybe he should be some times seasonal depression sets in... it is different for everyone though. if he truely is depressed really there is nothing you can do but hope he gets on the right meds, if it is just a temporary thing be an friend lend your ear, listen to what he has to say and hope you can get him through the worst part of it. I had a friend who attempter suicide a few times this last time he didn't make it.... all you can do is hope that your friendship will make a difference but if it doesn't don't blame your self you did everything you could to help.

After talking to his parents or whom has control of care. If you see you can not help yourself . Find a way to have a group meeting witrhin your family and tralk about money places to send him and what anybody has to offer to help. If that can;'t be arrainged contact govt agency that will check into itr and you yourself follow up on there re[port.
