My friend is in depression
Hi doctor, one of my close friend is in complete depression and stress for the past few months due to few family issues. He is aged 32 but is unmarried and has no parents. He is taken care by his aunt who wants him to get married but since he had delayed until 32 yrs and rejected most of the girls he is unable to get married now though he wanted to get married for his aunt and sisters. He is in total depression thinking of this issue and the society as he is a very shy and sensitive char he is scared to face the society which ques him about his unmarried life and his manliness. His family puts all the pressure on him to get married though there is no one to guide him and to take next steps for marriage. Now few days he keeps telling us he will not be for long and wants to die soon. We wanted to take him for counseling for which he is not ready and fights back telling we torture him. I feel like he wants immediate medical attention and counseling. Can you pls help me with this doctor.
