Trying to educate is something I'm seriously thinking of doing as it's long overdue that people shouldn't be shamed for suffering with it. My brother is a good example as he knows a friend suffers with depression but he refuses to take it seriously.
Yeah, I've had people like that for most of my life too. If you know your brother's friend at all, how would you feel about starting a conversation with them and letting them know that they aren't alone? Maybe talk to your brother about your depression in the third person, at least to start with, too?
