Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi Sridhar,

I can understand your concern for your brother. I would recommend you to seek a psychiatric consultation for your brother. Your brother might be suffering from depressive disorder which might be causing the symptoms he is manifesting. However, more information will be required like sleep, appetite, etc, to make a confident diagnosis.

He might need treatment with antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors which are safe and effective.

Hope this information was useful. Best wishes.
