Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In case of depression, he needs antidepressant like paroxetine or escitalopram. That would help him to come out of depression. These medications are not available over the counter, so he needs prescription from psychiatrist. Better to talk to patient as soon as possible. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
