    Be careful if you're going to speak with the Uni counsellor on your brothers behalf. He might not like it and it could have a negative effect i.e he might not want any contact whatsoever. If you are concerned for his safety then it's a different matter.
    I agree. the uni wont be able to speak to you (data protection, client confidentiality and all that) he may be more angry if he finds out you have gone behind his back.
    Unfortunately it may be a case of you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink.
    So often in cases of depression you cant help the person until thy genuinely want to be helped.
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.
