Hey, so I myself am suffering from anxiety since the time I can remember, but all I heard from my parents and family members was that I feared a lot (was a coward in other words). And I thought I was like that I didn't know that it was a suffering from GAD until recently when I just wanted to die. I searched for my symptoms online and found out I had GAD. Since then I have been doing a lot of research about it ...reading books, videos , etc. 

From this I realised that even my younger brother (21) was also going through Depression. All the symptoms indicate it and he always speaks of how death brings peace. We have lost 3 very close uncles and my grandmother in a span of 5 years. We both were very young to process those emotions and I feel that is what is causing him us these problems. I tried to reach out to him many times in the past and I am actively trying but he doesn't open up . 

I  told him what I was going through for that he was very supportive and insisted on me going to therapy and all. But when I even straight up told him that he too had Depression, he just ignores it and says that he doesn't. But I know for sure that he does because he keeps taking about death and he doesn't go out , doesn't have any friends and I have never seen him laugh. He is cranky a lot and keeps hitting walls and breaking stuff. 

I even told him to go to a therapist and sent him sources to cope up but he's not following those. It's like he doesn't want to be helped and just wants to die. 

After all this I don't know what to do now, my mother is very religious and believes this is all black magic and Satan's doing. 

Please help me help my brother. I love him a lot and I don't want to see him suffering like this.

Sorry the post is too long but I would appreciate any help I get .
