Re: Can anyone advise a depressed nephew please?

For what it's worth, I include here advice received from a good friend, just in case others who are similarly afflicted find it helpful:

The problem is always the same. Drugs…..lithium batteries. So that’s covered. 

If people who screw up their body don’t want to get to the root cause of their condition then it is almost a non-starter. And I gather as it's your sis who is asking she is possibly more concerned than your nef.

Anyway one routine which is supposed to help with depression is early rise and daily skin rubs with a strong brush or loofa (until skin goes bright red). And check the vitamin D as he might be in need of sunlight. Also very physical activities help as does less time on blue light emitting screens before bed.

But all this is complex as the root cause could be psychological too. Issues at work, or relationship, money worries, gambling, electrosensitivity. Count your lucky stars that you are as interested in health as I am. If it doesn’t save you it at least empowers ya.
