Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, he is in depression and in that case, he needs antidepressant and low dose benzodiazepine. these drugs are not available over the counter, so better consult a psychiatrist rather than physician for proper management. In case, you need further help, you can consult me.

Regards
