You've gotten a lot of great suggestions in this thread. One thing that helped someone I care about is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEbaff5VkMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEbaff5VkMY Another thing is try something really small like going for an ice cream or doing something HE/SHE used to love to do. Worse thing you can do is just let him be, that is more so YOU don't feel bad rather than helping him. Take small positive steps forward. Even a regular phone call that's predictable would help.
