hi,
after going throug your question this is my advice..

when was the last blood workup done?how is his apetite?he could be anemic or deficient of vitamins etc?
patients with chronic diseases or stroke tend to have depressive disorder..
taking him to a psychiatrist may help..
if you have any more queries i would be happy to help you..
