Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As he had a traumatic experience, he might be suffering from PTSD or depression. Ask him to cut down alcohol and take him to a psychiatrist, and start taking antidepressant after consulting a doctor.
I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
