He has gave up and thinks himself as a mental patient and also that he can never be fine. Moreover he gave up his dream work for certain conditions. Now situation is going out of control how can I help him? What can I do for him? How can I help him to regain his confidence ?

Dear user
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. It seems that the case is not of depression. The case seems to be personality disorder with which he lost his self confidence and self esteem. We need to find what created such a thought pattern. Personality assessment is required. Then motivation therapy, self confidence building measures and applied focus therapy could do the trick to bring him back to his normal path.
