How to help my unemployed adult brother?
My younger brother is almost 26 years old and he hasn’t had a stable job. He worked for a few days in a warehouse about 4 years ago and he’s been unemployed for most of his life. He lives at home, sleeps during the day and plays video games at night. Always on his phone. He left school during the pandemic. He doesn’t go out a lot either nor does he hang out with his friends. He basically doesn’t do anything. He goes to the kitchen to eat and then goes back to his room. He lives like a teenager. I have tried to help him as much as I can. I try to find jobs for him and I send him links to apply for those jobs. I have also suggested learning new skills, get a driving license; just do something with his life instead of staying at home all day doing nothing. He is depressed and I’ve even tried to get him help but nothing seems to work. He is on UC and he contributes £100 monthly for the bills at home. My mum is worried about him and she often cries about his future. I don’t know how to help him.
EDIT: I realise I forgot to mention some significant points. I am not pressuring him to find a job, he had asked me to look for jobs for him and that’s when I started sending out links for him to apply. He said he feels like he would feel better when he starts to work. And yes I did try to get help, I encouraged him to speak to the GP and seek therapy. He tried phone therapy for a while but then gave up because he felt like it was interfering with his sleeping pattern (as he sleeps during the day). I have even encouraged him to join the gym, be paying for a membership myself. I have asked him to go on walks, go out and get some fresh air. I offered to come over whenever he wants me to.
I struggle with my own mental health issues as I have chronic depression and severe anxiety, I’m on medication for it.
Trust me I have done everything that I can to help him but I just feel like it’s not enough.
