My brother's depression and lack of dealing with it is taking a toll on my family. I want to help my brother succeed, but I really don't know what to do. He has no interests or hobbies beyond playing video games, eating, and sleeping. He seems to have no motivation to do anything to alleviate the depression he faces. I relate to that, and I try to be sympathetic, but it's difficult to watch him wallow in sadness. I feel helpless, because my parents' reactions are over the top and upsetting as well. I feel alone.
