How To Help Someone With Suicidal Tendencies And Low Self-esteem?

My Younger brother is having severe inferiority complex about his physic, identity, health (probably sexual also). He is 26 yrs old, ht. 5'10". He is reacting very aggressively, always talking to finish his life. In family no one is there to share his actual problems, so he is having some misunderstanding also about his sexual matter also, probably he have some boyfriends also, so they are also misguiding him about life. we are not able to talk anythings about this matter, he is hiding very badly. he is taking some medicines that he has purchased from correspondence. all the times he is talking to finish his life, he has stopped to eat since several days. what to do doctor? its very tough to manage.
