What Causes Lethargic And Breathlessness With Depression?

My boyfriend is sick, he has something going on with his lungs, hes always lethargic, in pain, has trouble breathing at times and is continuously getting worse. Hes been seeing doctors with no results and he is just losing hope and falling in a state of depression. Where can he go that wont throw him to a million doctors with no results except putting him on anti depressants which do not solve the problem?
