My brother is depressed / anxiety

...See more Hi I have a brother who's almost 30 and he is depressed. He's currently not working or going to school and stays in his room all day. He lives with my parents and he has tough time "trusting" anyone. He stopped talking to his friends and doesn't talk to many people. I've been trying to be supportive, tried to make him feel motivated but I feel the way he's feeling is getting worst. He told me he has no motivation in life. Currently I noticed he gets really sensitive and has anger issues gets frustrated at the littlest things and assumes at anything for the worst. He doesn't want to get help cause he says "I don't trust them or what they do" and I don't know what I can do for him to open his trust to talk to other people or get motivated again. It's tough in my parents cause they're getting old and they don't know what to do. And I feel like it's a lot on my chest to deal with this situation and it's starting to affect me on my life. If anyone here have any ideas what I can do to help coupe this situation please feel free! I'm open to anything.

...See more hi, this not technicially for me, but i also need help. i believe my brother has depression and i feel it has gotten worst. at this point he doesnt want to talk to me due to lack of communication. nor he doesnt talk to really anyone else. what adivce i need is to help him feel more motivated in life and self encourage him to become more confident with himself and allow him to be more active with his life. i know in depression, its more the person has to be the one to make things happen. but as a brother/supporter what can i do to help him or support to help himself. right now hes mad at me, so im gonna give him space and wait a bit. but please if any of you guys have any sort of advice for me that wouild be greatly appreciated. thanks
