How do i motivate my depressed brother in 1st year MBBS?
My younger brother got govt college MBBS seat after 4 years drop in 2025.
He had worked very hard for this and watching him clear this exam finally was a source of great joy for our entire family.
However, he has become depressed because of the academic workload, feeling out of place among his peers, a general inferiority complex I believe. He failed in all internal exams and has talked many times about quitting college. I have tried to motivate him but nothing seems to get him out of his mental pit. It appears he has accepted that he can't complete this.
I am exhausted and don't know how do I help him. Watching him throw away such a beautiful opportunity which he worked so hard for makes me so sad, as well as my inability to help him.
Please Seniors who have completed MBBS or are in later years, how did you guys cope with the academic pressures and how do I help him?
Thanks
