Let him visit a psychiatrist. His case seems like a mental disorder which if not tackled in time could lead to serious dementia.

Let him visit a hospital, depression is a mental case. Is he an introvert? If he is, definitely he has a Melancholy personality.

Such people are prone to depression more that any other type of personalities. He needs to get involve in what he loves, but unfortunately depression causes people to lose interest in most things and that can lead to self harm.

Maxxim:
The crux of the matter is that he can't get any sleep at night without taking alcohol. He could stay all day without eating sometimes.
I'm just curious if there's a way out of this shit.
Hope this won't result to anything worse?
In anticipation for your advice please.

Please tell your friend he needs to make an appointment to see a psychiatrist and or a sleep doctor as soon as possible.

SanctifiedSista:

He needs a good woman to look after him and forget that his depression
Someone that makes him laugh and massage his back at night, I would have recommended myself but am trying to build myself up financially to avoid being a burden to any man

A good woman will look after him how exactly? A "good" woman to make him laugh and massage his back... this is your plan to end depression and make sleep problems go away?

This advice here is no wonder some Nigerian men believe women to be the reason why they die young. There heads are filled with lies about how a good woman can make magic automagically happen to them and they fall for the foolishness too. However, when the "good" woman fails to deliver on the promise, the men turn their angst against the woman.

Op, please tell your friend to stay away from the so called "good" women until he has his condition under control abeg!

You are wrong, a good woman can turn that man around for good

I love the way you open up and your submission

But I pray you get a stable man who will love to have you around him

Women have the ability to care for a man or to make a man stable, just that the bad condition of the economy have made the good one's looks as if they have had intentions

If this guy can have a good woman who is willing to help the family in getting this guy ok, there will be a good difference in his life

She will provide the love and the family will provide the finance

That's the real truth

All she needs is the family support and financial back up

You can't be rehabilitating a depressed person with out money and love

So what you are saying right here now is if you had a daughter of marriage age, you would give her for wife to this man's friend who is clearly on the verge of what is a mental breakdown?

You actually believe that your daughter can cure this man of what seems clinical depression, and sleep deprivation or even a full blown sleep disorder?.

Yes she can, but we need someone from your family, probably your biological sister so that you can monitor their progress

Monitor progress of what amounts to foolishness? For what reason?

You mean a young person can develop dementia? He's just passed his mid twenties.

Yes he's an introvert and I just read about the melancholy depression, that really described his personality, is there any self therapy or medication he could practice by himself?

Get him a puppy

I pray you meet your own man who will understand you and neglect anythig you do

hmm. A melancholy! Yes:

1. Exercise, any one at all is OK he needs to get involve in the one that interests him. Intensive exercise such as high tempo run �‍♀️ and other vigorous ones would cause him to sleep more and increases his blood circulation hence lightening up his mood.

2. He needs to do something that gives him self fulfilment. He probably been weigh down by circumstances around him.

3. He needs to adjust his expectations to March up with realities on ground because they usually have this high unrealistic expectations

4. He probably is a very intelligent person and a great thinker. One thing with such people is that they get overwhelmed easily by their thoughts.

5. I assumed he loves reading as such is common among them, gift him a book on personality by Tim lahaye titled: why I do the things I do

6. They are also very sacrificial, get him to volunteer in something he is good at as such may give him self fulfilment and make him leave the house often.

7. Tell him life happens to us all, he should quit worrying about where he is now and fight for a better tomorrow. He should not compare himself with others

The problem isn't your friend's personality but instead the fact that he is exhibiting symptoms of mental illness , sleep deprivation being one of them.

He is also self-medicating by using alcohol to coax himself to sleep and that is not good for anyone with mental problems. He needs to go see a doctor to help him treat the core issues.

Thanks for all you've written, this advice will really go a long way for em.
I'm sure he'll go through these exercise and I'll do my part in helping him also and if those symptoms still persist he'll go visit a health practitioner.
Thanks
