From experience this is a really bad idea. It may very well end up making it worse. He will probably feel as if you are patronizing him. Its like telling a depressed person to cheer up because others have it worse. That may be true but why would a depressed person feel better due to someone else feeling worse than they do when they have an idea of how that person feels and would not wish it on anyone?
