He is on medication. I don't think it is working because he always feels overwhelmed. He thinks it is because he stopped crying once he started taking it. It is also when he became very detached from any kind of emotion.
He currently goes to counseling for his nervous breakdown. A friend of his that is a psych said he needed some time alone so he went on a two day trip away. After he came back he said he felt lost. So she said go on a longer break. So he decided to take a week off the next month and go away again. Only in between the weekend off and the week he planned he decided that he needed a lot more space and moved out.
