Hi,

He is having signs and symptoms of depression and needs to be managed. Therefore, talk to a psychiatrist as he is most probably going to need motivation and group therapies, for behavior modification and stress management. additionally, if needed, pharmacological interventions with selective Serotonin receptors blocker etc may be needed.

The tingling numbness after vibration tools may also be triggered with underlying vertebral issues and may need to be ruled out on radiographic images as well as local neurological examination. Sugar and thyroid levels may also be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
