Specializes in Family Medicine

Therapy +/- meds: Most men manifest their depression and anxiety via anger. I would recommend that you encourage him to pursue therapy first. Depending on the severity of his condition he may also need medication. I know it won't be easy but this is the best thing you can do for him at this time.
