To echo Dezzo ... I don't think you need to be a doctor to know what it feels like to suffer trauma or loss and to know how it affects people. Depression is a nasty condition, but after 6 years, how is it that nothing has changed? Is he not having treatment? Has he shown no improvement whatsoever that might allow him to undertake some kind of work? Everyone involved in mental healthcare knows that keeping busy is a good way of maintaining good mental health. Languishing at home for six years is probably the worst thing this man could be doing. Assuming of course that he is still suffering clinical depression, and hasn't rather decided that he is better off being paid by the State for being 'depressed' rather than giving up his sofa-bound existence.
