shania agony auntIf he is suffering from depression,then he really needs to see a doctor.Sometimes depression can go on its own but other times it does'nt so thats when medication will help....he does'nt have to be on tablets forever but if you can find the route to his sadness then your half way there to sorting it out.Good luck.
