My younger brother's girlfriend passed away a year back. She met with an accident and died on the spot. They were in a serious relationship for 3 years and it was a shocking news for all of us. He is still under depression and also addicted to drugs and alcohol. We don't know how to console him. I'm worried about his addiction and depression. He has changed a lot. I want my brother back. My mom says give him time, he will be okay. But I don't think so, if this condition continues then we won't get him back. So I'm thinking of taking him to an addiction treatment centre in Toronto. I have not yet discussed this with my parents, it's just my suggestion as I think both addiction and depression can be treated from addiction centres. I have read in articles that depression is one of the withdrawal symptoms of addiction. I hope this might help him. What do you say? Any alternatives are appreciated!! Thanks!!
