My brother is a patient of depression. He had done MBA and then started job around 8-9 years back. He could not handle the pressure and changed three jobs and finally quit all of them. He started being in depression for not able to continue jobs and expectation of a middle class family father. He started further education with a force of my father who thought his involvement in education will deal with his depression and increase opportunity for him but all went wrong and he took his first suicide attempt. After that his condition became more poor. We were consulting to doctors regularly but in between he again took second attempt and few months after third attempt so we had to change the doctor. He was feared from people light and almost everything and closed himself in a room. When we saw his condition getting worst, He was given electric shocks. We all were opposed to it but I am sure we would have lost him otherwise.
It did change him for better. We saw improvements in him so he got married and as doing nothing was a bigger reason for depression now so my father started a shop for him and set with him there. He went there approx 6-7 months out of a year.

He had been taking medicines regularly with consulting to doctors for this 8 year period. But things are again looking to go the same way again. Now he started leaving home without telling anyone and without his phone. He is feared from crowd. I feel scared and helpless of not being sure to what to do. I tried several times that he do 10-15 minutes of yoga or exercise but he is reluctant to any of my advice.

My worst moment of life was when I forcefully took the poison bottle and tablet from his hand. What if I would have been late by couple of minutes. I don't want to see that day again. Please help me how can I tackle this situation.
