Suggest Treatment For Depression

I have a 21 year old son that is showing signs of severe depression. I would like to seek help for him. Is there a safe an effective anti-depressant anyone could recommend for him? I have heard that some anti-depressant for adolescents can make the depression worsen, and I’m very worried about that.
