Answers:    Please don't worry about your brother, he is within the final stage of what is called the "maturation process", growing into adult hood. So exceedingly much going on in his mind right now. He will be find. He is truly blessed to enjoy a sister like you. You are dealing with so much on a personal smooth yourself now. please take prudence of yourself. It sounds like you also have a great mom, and her concern is common, she loves you both very much and is confused about your brothers behavior, and is over react.
Might be interesting to note, what we use to call the "blues", and write songs roughly, is now called "depression".

Is nearby a dub for this?


I'm trying to comfort my sister through depression and it's really difficult sometimes. I guess just being in that for your brother if he ever needs to speak to you and being supportive going on for his goals, like the road try-out, is important. Hope he starts feeling better soon. Take thoroughness xoxo tell him to talk to a friend or close familial member. depression can get worse if zilch is done. they even have depression hotlines where you can only call and talk to some hit or miss person over the phone, try and google it if that would interest him.. maybe you could try and gossip to him?

Social Anxiety "Are we alone"?


Try and talk to him about it even if he doesn't want to. He think he doesn't need any help but low inside he really does. If you talk to him it will make him discern much better. Sometimes when people are depressed they really need someone to homily to and they feel like they hold no one to talk to. A honest thing to do is to make sure he know your there for him if he needs you and also submit a chrisis line or something like that because the one point you dont want to happen is for him to feel close to it wont work out and have him commit suicide. Also something that might help is to try and TALK to your mom ( for me thats other hard because she doesnt listen so i end up yell even tho they listen more when you talk) about how if he feels depressed its probably better to be supportive fairly than to punish him.


I hope that helps

What's the best method to support a friend who's have a breakdown?


I have suffered next to seasonal depression, so I kind of know how your brother feels. And sometimes it really feel like there's nothing you can possibly do to be thankful. You just become disinterested and literally feel departed inside. It makes it worse when people attain mad that you're upset, b/c you really can't help it. I might own a talk with your mom, and communicate her to just try to take it assured on your brother. Fighting is just going to make him perceive worse. If he refuses to talk in the order of it, don't try to make him. Just be very tolerant, and love him no matter what. The best thing that have helped me is to just carry away for a few days on a vacation or short road trip just to escape for awhile. End his misery. Kill him.
