Hi
I understand your concern
He is probably showing signs of depression which could be age related or because of some other condition like thyroid etc. Try to rule out any other condition.
He should immediately seek help. Motivate him. Or tell him to seek help online if jot face to face
All the best
Consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling
