Big surprise, my brother is ''depressed'' again. I think I'm writing off my young brothers depression as just posing
Why would you write off his depression?
I will explain why. He has been depressed for quite some time and we all think he just wants attention
You shouldn't ignore someone who is experiencing depression. If serious, they could end up harming themselves or worse. Try having them see a professional in order to be diagnosed properly.
Who cares! He has been like this for most of his life. He will be fine
If someone is depressed for a long time it could lead to more suicidal thoughts in the future because they begin to lose hope so it's wrong to already write him off when he has suffered so much already.
