How To Treat Depression?

My son got married last December, and lives with his wife and mother in law. He's very unhappy living there but financially can't afford to move out. Ever since he got married he's been losing lot of weight and has bad moods. He says the wife and mother in law are not good cooks and he doesn't eat healthy food. I am very worried about my son. He was never this skinny and looking very sickly. He used to use Marijuana when teenager but not anymore? I sometimes wonder whether he's using other stuff to ease his pain or frustration or if he's suffering depression? Please help me because I don't know how to approach this matter? Thank you

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I do not think food is the only reason behind his behavior. Secondly calling this behavior as depression may not be right because this could be just dissatisfaction. I suggest you talk to your son with all your love and compassion. Or else, take him to a psychological counselor and counselor should help you. The reasons behind the behavior should analyzed and accurate treatment method to be suggested. Understanding family and its intricacies is the trick. Your son should change but it might take some time and he might need your assistance as well as his wife.
