Everyone tries to help out in different ways, some people don't know how to deal with certain situations and maybe that's just his attempt at trying to help. Just let him know that's not the way to do it and I'm sure he'll understand and stop.

it might be mental /clinical.... or situational( like something recently happened in your life). the only one who can change your life for the better is you op. if it's clinical then medication is out there . if it's situational then figure out what triggered the depression. free counseling is probably offered at a church or school. no one can fix you but you. I had to learn that the hard way.
