Good day and thank you for posting your question. Good to know you care a lot for your brother. Yes, these are signs of Depression and would need to see a Psychiatrist as soon as possible. Possible complication if he did not go for treatment could be suicide, and let's try and avoid suicide as much as possible. Let him see a Psychiatrist.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
