Depression: It is important to know if this person is being effectively for his/her depression. Severe depression can lead to social withdrawal and little interest in talking. It can ultimately lead to a person not talking. Those experiencing depression are really suffering so it is very important to treat with antidepressant medication as well as love and support

Get more help: I would add that you all should be working with a counselor , and maybe even a social worker . In addition to medication, there may be a support group for caregivers , maybe some specific therapeutic techniques that could help. Consideration of acupuncture -can be very helpful for depression -optimize diet/nutrition.
