I am concerned about my boyfriend.  He is 42 yrs old and in good health.  In June his 45 year old brother passed away unexpectedly.  Approx two weeks later he lost his job.  His employer required him to work out of state for an undetermined amount of time.  He went to work and realized he could not be alone and asked for more time off.  They fired him.  He returned home and approx 6 weeks later he was robbed.  He lost personal items and work  tools.  This past week his pet died.  He has been sleeping all the time,  says he feels restless and cant sit still when he is awake,  has lost some weight and has lost interest in golf (this was a passion before) and his interest in sex has stopped.Is this still \"normal\" for the time frame.  What can I do to help him.  At what point do I become concerned that he should seek medical help for depression and how to I talk to him about it.
Hello lot of significant events happened to him in a short period of time like death of a near one, loss of job, robbery and then loss of pet. These things have cause significant psychological trauma to him and this is causing depressive symptoms like lethargy, restless, loss of interest, poor sexual desire etc. He is in Adjustment Disorder with depressive symptoms. Best way is to talk to him regarding his low mood and then consult a counselor for help. If no improvement occur with counseling then consult a Psychiatrist for help. He really needs treatment as if not properly given attention he may go into full-blown depressive episode. Thanks
