Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
You have not mentioned the age of the patient and in that case I could have been more helpful. However you have mentioned that he sees double and this can never be a symptom of depression. he certainly needs a CT scan or MRI scan of the brain. many space occupying lesions in the brain can cause depression. Hence one needs to be careful.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:

Wish you good health,
Kind regards
