The ex-chancellor recalls his brother's 2018 death in an interview to mark World Mental Health day.
Ex-chancellor Sajid Javid has spoken publicly about his brother's suicide for the first time, telling the BBC his family "just didn't see it coming".
In 2021 more than 5,000 people took their own lives in the UK - three-quarters of them were men. Mr Javid said he felt that in some cases, a stigma around mental health prevented men from seeking help sooner. "He didn't talk to anyone about this, and I think for anyone that might even be listening that might have suicidal thoughts, or they think a friend might have, the most important thing is to talk to someone," Mr Javid said.
