How To Overcome Depression And Tiredness?

My son is 24 and has been suffering from depression for the past 7 years. I am at a loss - he won t do anything. He does take medicine but says its not working (serequil and klonapin). He is in therapy and his therapist does not know what else to tell him. He won t work and is always tired. The only thing he does is play video computer games all day and night. When he is confronted or there is a confrontation of any kind he looses it - screams, yells, talks crazy talk to himself. I am very concerned. I don t know what more to do. I have been to his doctor appointment with him - I am in close contact with is therapist and I check in on him often. I have sent him motivation links - books - sent him encouraging messages/emails. I just don t know what to do because he has to be out on his own in 1 month and I don t think he will have a place to go.
