You can ask them a few simple questions to figure out if he is depressed.
Ask him if he feels like he is starting to lose interest in former hobbies, social activities, and sex. Ask him if he has not been eating well or has been gaining weight rapidly. Pay attention if he is unable to sleep at night or oversleeping during the day. Is he physically drained or feeling like he has no energy, and having trouble concentrating. Does he become agitated or feel guilty? Has he been having random outbursts? He could be feeling the affects of depression physically as well like being achy or sore all over.
