Hi.. If his condition is that severe, medications may be required to provide him some immediate relief. But since his issues are primarily psychosocial in nature, therefore psychotherapy/counselling will be required to address his issues from the root. It is normal for any individual to go through heartbreaks and feel low for a certain period of time. But if the person is not coming out from that setback and further spiralling down into that negative loop, seeking mental health support is the best thing one can do to help him out. Depression in such cases can be effectively addressed with timely clinical intervention.
Next Steps
