Sibling suffers depression

My brother has been suffering deppression for 4 months straight now and he is begining to give up on his hope. I want to know if there is hope to get treated from depression because I love my brother, he is my best friend

Most definitely, there is good treatment for depression. Start with a mental health center, listed in your phone book, or a referred psychiatrist. He’ll most likely need talk therapy and medications; luckily there are some really good meds out there. Try to get him there as soon as possible and Good Luck, Good Sister!!!

A 4 month bout with depression, and we do not really know from the letter if he has had this happen before, needs medical help a good examination and test from a good Doctor. This can help , starting from the begining, to find the roots of any other problems. I can get emotionally stung by many things and go into a depression for as long as 6 months. I can physically become disabled with my Rheumatoid Arthritis and the horrible pain begins and with that a deep depression. In my life time with depression, many things can cause a long period of depression. Get to the physical part first and go from there. I am not an expert, let me make that clear, but the experiences have taught me alot. Do not wait another day, do it now.
