Depression/social phobia

2017-04-16 07:49:24
Hi, this is Eheteshamuddin. One of my cousin is suffering from a serious mental disease. He is right now under depression. Another important thing is he has a weird kind of social phobia. He doesn't speak to "anyone"through direct eye contact. Whenever he is in a social gathering he fears so much for no reason. He just cannot speak when he is in a group. I fear for him. This looks pretty fearful and worrying. Help me out please.
