Picking a Book

I dont know of any for sure but i do have a word of advice

I have a sister with clinical depression and she vents to me all the time about how some people come to her and give her things that indicate that she is sad, or makes it obvious that she is sad

>i.e. book talking about how you can overcome self harm

From personal experience, i wouldnt get him something that tells him that you know that they are in a bad time.

Instead of getting him something like that id get him something fun or goofy, or something that he may have been wanting.

But don't completely ignore his hard times, asking when he would be available to talk or just let him know that you're there for him if he needs to talk because you've noticed that he has been different.
