HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, depression in this age group would be different what is generally seen in adult beside the teenagers, apart from the medicines boy must be in need of some moral support, fear would be the main cause, and he must be given surety for this that it is going to be alright and no need to worry about it, he should be given full confidence that parents are with him and they will take all the care for him, try these hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
