Hi,
First of all, he should not have stopped his treatment suddenly, because it can cause rapid deterioration. Second, he needs some medications such as SSRI, but the medications cannot solve the problem without psychotherapy. Finally, some dietary supplement such as fish oil and folic acid can help him.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
