The symptoms your brother reported might be related to mood disorders. Depression combined with anxiety is one of the possible diagnoses.
However, it might need longer period of evaluation by psychiatrist to give the exact diagnose and treatment. He might also want to visit a psychotherapist to learn to live with the problems more easily.
In the end, please remember that the therapy might have side effects that might make your brother to refuse taking the therapy for longer period. However, this condition is not treated easily and not taking the therapy all the time might not show the best effects.
