hey mrr...whatever you decide to do...it will be the right thing...but I suggest taking him to a counselor....or perhaps scheduling time with some one who he can talk with...without fear of retribution....some one that he trusts completely...and if it it turns out meds may be the best way...then i would put him on them...and keep an eye on him....for any side effects and such...or you could just take him to church so everyone can pray for him....BG...(sorry I could not resist that last)...

but in any case good luck...and good on you for wanting to get this taken care of as soon as possible!
