Suggest Treatment For Depression

My 25yr old son is going through a phase of depression, since the last 5months.He is 5ft- 11inch tall. Weight maybe 70kg. He has done his Bms degree and also done a 3yr; designing course from Raffles International in Bombay. We as a family are unable to help. He feels incapable of comprehending and achieving things in his life.
