If he is so smart, go at him straight. Tell him you are worried he is depressed and basically do a 1 on 1 intervention, as long as you are willing to work with him to move past his issues. Once you figure out the root issue, coddling him won't help, you will have to give him the old "buck up" speech and let him know that you care but the only way things will improve is if HE makes the necessary changes and commits to making them long term. Let him know that he can come to you if he is struggling, but basically let him know that if he fails, he needs to get up and keep going, that that is the only way to move forward.
