How do I help my brother suffering from depression?

He's struggling really bad since the beginning of the year and I don't know how to help him anymore.

He's in therapy.

Tell him to get some sunlight and walk/run for 30-60 min every day. The lack of exercise and vitamin D make depression worse.

@eMortal We do workout together most days and he has to go quite a while to school. Soon he'll get a bike because he doesn't like buses, so that'll be good.

Just being there and letting him vent or air his thoughts to you means more than you think.

@BarbossasHusband I know, and I am there for him. Always. But it's so sad to see him cry everyday and know there's nothing I can do to make him laugh anymore. He's a broken child. I hope he finds the old him soon.

@swirlie No. My parents wouldn't put him into therapy because they don't believe in it, so I asked them if I could, because his mental health was getting worse. For a while, it helped him. But things in school started to get worse and he said the thoughts are getting stronger.

@swirlie Oh, I agree. They are making hims harder for him, but I'm trying to help him.
