A : A simple exam by his md will most likely find the diagnosis. It may very well be a simple hemorrhoid but could be more serious. He needs to be evaluated.

Blood mixed w stool: warrants medical assessment. He can talk with his doctor about his depressed mood as well.

See doctor: Agree with Dr. Fowler.
Bleeding from any orifice (except menstrual bleeding) needs to be evaluated by a doctor. If may be as simple has hemorrhoids, but it needs an in-person examination.
