I have a close friend who lives in a different country very far away from me but none the less we are still pretty close. For about 2 years now he has been in constant depression mood and only occasionally experiences true happiness feelings, often times he even acts as though he is happy only to get me to stop worrying about him. I’ve done a little bit of research and I truly feel that he might be experiencing Dysthymia. He has been feeling very hopeless, looks down on himself, feels like he will not accomplish anything and did not ever accomplish anything, he’s been having constant family problems almost everyday, constantly feeling that his family is not proud of him. After spending sometime with his family last summer i noticed that the mood in there house is not very joyful and that there seems to always be a tense feeling in the house which causes a lot of angry feelings towards him. he's been in and out of jobs a couple of times two years and is currently unemployed which is making him feel more and more worthless and useless and his dream of being able to get married and take care of a family causes him only to look at all the things that he is unable to do. On top of all this he is unable to seek professional help. I feel like I need to help him somehow but I just don't know what to do if anyone has any advice or solutions as to how I can help him or how anything can help please don't hesitate.
