Welcome to the Psych Central community, roxyblue! From what you describe it sounds like there is something going on with him other than (or in addition to) depression. His anger and rudeness and recklessness would indicate that. I'm no psychiatrist but it sounds like maybe bipolar or maybe borderline personality disorder. Whatever it is he would benefit from seeing a mental health professional. You don't mention whether he has any substance abuse issues but if he does that will just exacerbate his other issues. The thing is you can't make him get help. Yes you can reach out to him, but that can only go so far. You have to maintain boundaries and take care of yourself first. You say you care for him very deeply and your concern is growing. Sometimes the best thing we can do for someone we care about-- especially for someone who doesn't seem to be appreciating/responding to our caring-- is to step back.
