No he needs a shrink, depression isn't something that will just go away or people grow out of. I've been depressed for a long time, part of it is that it comes and goes, some days I feel fine, other days I hate everything in the world. It's not easy to know how to deal with these issues on your own, I recommend a professional to help. I've put off getting one myself for a long time, hoping I can avoid the embarrassment of talking about my personal life to a stranger, or just have some guy recommend all types of drugs, but I do think if someone thinks they need a shrink, they should get one.

I will say that moving out on my own really helped my relationship with my mom, but it will most likely not make the depression go away. You will just have different issues to deal with, such as loneliness which brings a more self destructive side to depression.
