I would suggest a two prong approach. First, encourage your son to see his family doc for a physical to rule out any medical reason for lack of energy. There are all kinds of medical problems that can cause fatigue. Gotta rule those out before blaming depression for the lack of energy. Like yagr I have a medical condition that causes wide spread body aches and exhaustion. The lack of energy has nothing to do with my depression. My meds do an excellent job of helping me manage my depressive symptoms, but can't do anything for the fatigue because they are unrelated.
I would also encourage him to talk to his psychiatrist about his lack of energy. It could be a side effect of his meds.
