Support: It sounds like you're really worried. Have you talked to your friend about your concerns? Sometimes when someone is depressed they feel isolated, even in a crowd. Letting him know you're worried and available to listen may help. He may need professional counseling and/or medication if he is depressed, but you can be supportive.
