How Can Severe Depression And Self Harm After A Relationship Break-up Be Treated?

I have a grand son that has been diagnosed with clinical depression . He started cutting him self and acting weird after his girl friend broke up a him.He would go and sit across the street from her house. This led to her mother call it the police on him and him being arrested. Then he had to attend class for conceding but now they say he has that has clinical depression. I am afraid that they will put him on anti depression meds and he will get worse what should I do.
