If you wanna be a lawyer do it.
Don't worry. Just remember your not the only one.
Just think it through a little bit more.
Don't take any medication for depression or anxiety it's not worth the side effects.
That's not how it works. If he's depressed he should definitely take anti-depressants unless it's mild and can be overcome with CBT, mindfulness/meditation, exercise, and a healthy diet. Depression, anxiety and mental illnesses in general aren't as simple as saying fuck it, thinking it through a bit more and skipping anti-depressants. I'm not here to attack you personally, I'm just trying to avoid having not so good advice handed out.
^^^ This. Depression isn't a personal failure. You wouldn't try to think through cancer treatment or forgo treatment for a life threatening illness because of a decreased libido.
As far as therapy goes, just try it. Find a therapist and take the leap. One of the best things about therapy is letting someone else in on it. It frees you.
Best of luck, man.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
