Take him to a counselor it is quite helpful and even if that doesn't help completely a weekly visit to see the counselor combined with some meds to help monitor things and side affects can be helpful. I dont agree with giving KIDS meds all the time but hes close to being an adult so hes getting near the age where if he needed them he could use them. People seem to think jumping on the meds thing is wrong but if you study mental illness its something that SOMETIMES you have to have help with meds. But thats why i disagree with giving Kids meds because they need a chance to grow up WITHOUT meds so they can learn life without meds, how they feel, etc.
You can't just tough out mental illness, but then again might just be a passing case of depression which may go away, but its good if he can talk to a professional and make his own opnions about it. Its good to recognize the signs when you are about to dive into depression if it ever reoccurs. It can be a horrible ordeal for the person and the loved ones but its all workable with a little work and patience. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully its just a passing thing. My thoughts are with you and your son!
