LL, you're not qualified to give a diagnosis and we don't know that he has depression. Which is precisely why I didn't say anything. We know he has an issue, we don't know if it's his fault, somebody else's fault or nobody's fault.
I was just thinking about the op, and the situation and the fact that there are a few possibilities from the information we've been given:
1. He may have made the other guy feel uncomfortable.
2. The other guy many not be interested in making new friends.
3. The other guy might have had another reason to leave in a hurry.
And about MLA these are all possible:
1. He may feel socially isolated.
2. He may not make friends very easily.
3. He may be overreacting.
4. There may be another issue causing him to feel this way.
He dwells on things he hates rather than things he likes. That's about the most we know about him.
So I disagree with your statement, we don't know how to "help someone" when there are plenty of possible explanations for the situation and it'd be presumptuous to assume that we know what the right one is.
He doesn't like what doctors tell him, there's a number of different possible explanations for that too. But at the end of the day if he wants to work out what his issue or issues are then he will need professional advice not yours or mine.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
