Hi,
How are you? I understand your concern and it is good that you are there for him especially at this time. There are many types of treatment  available including medications that relieve depression symptoms as well as psychotherapy or combination of these two.  If he has severe depression or is in danger of self-harm, he may need a hospital stay or may need to participate in an outpatient treatment program until symptoms improve. Talk to him and try to have him see a doctor for proper management. Stay strong and positive. Take care and do keep us posted.
