i don't know if this might help but my sister-in-law is cutting herself off from her family too. we think that it was a of dealing with her unwanted emotions when she was a child. her parents had no patience for it. he may be dealing with it the same way he was raised to.
a way to introduce him to the idea of something wrong is to have his doctor check his thyroid level. my wife was depressed, didn't know what was happening until our doctor tested it. hers was very low. it also gave her hope because it was easier to accept it since it was a physical thing they could measure.
