Answers:
talk to him about something you need help with. ask for his advice. people are much more willing to open up and talk about things when the other person has come to them for advice first. he still may not be willing to talk though, and if that's the case, let him know that you're worried and are there if he needs to talk, but don't push him to talk to you. he needs to decide to do so on his own.

Intervention. depression is terrible, its the slowest most painful death known to man, "Seriously" get him help sit down with all your friends and lay it down, let him know hes loosing it and if he cant turn it around you have no choice but to leave because you cannot as a friend stand to watch him fall apart.Health Question & Answer

He needs to help himself but if you want you can get him one of those sun lamps that cost about $150 on amazon that mimics the sun and helps lift depression. also make him take fish oil or anything with omega 3 and finally get him to work out at a gym. Those ideas can help lift depression but I would suggest him seeing a doctor but in the meantime try those if you can.
