Overweight, Depressed, Stress, Lack Of Confidence. Suggestion?

My son is under 19 years old. His attitude has changed a lot after he spent one year in UBC as an international student with an excellent scholarship. He lived in the university residence alone without me because we stayed in Saudi Arabia. We provided him full support emotionally and financially. When he came back, he was overweight and he was depressed. He also failed in 5 subjects because he couldn't handle all the stress. We accepted these facts and got okay with it but he is still depressed and is now not as confident as he used to be. We need help ASAP. Thank you for your time.

Psychologist,  's  Response
Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

Now a days higher study is not as expected. Your son might have depressed due to so many causes such as exam performance, peer pressure, role and identity conflict, unsatisfactory study habits, lack of positive outlook about future or goal etc, etc, etc.
Therefore you need to consult a psychologist to ascertain the causes associated with his depression and treat it with psychotherapy.
I can help you online if you desire so.
Good luck.
