Hi

I need an expert’s help. My brother is battling depression, since few years now. But it’s so difficult to convince him to take therapy or medicines.
He tried consulting a psychiatrist once, took medicines for 20 days and then left the course. He consulted a therapist too, had one session, and even though he felt better, he didn’t connected with her again, and neither did she.

I understand that doctors and psychologists are professionals and they can’t take responsibility to check on their patients. But what if a patient needs a little more push to keep putting efforts in the right direction. Since friends and family are too close to the situation, their words don’t matter, the constant persuasion to continue therapy only annoys him more. I am on a lookout for a therapist who can go a little extra mile to save my brother’s life. All he need is a little push from someone, someone who is a Professional expert to help him and someone who cares enough too.

I am watching his mental health deteriorate day by day and I feel so helpless. Any help from you would be a highly appreciated.

I will be eternally grateful for any reference or suggestion.

Regards
