Answers:
First, it's good that he's announced that he wants help!. That's the first step!.
I'd suggest looking for a psychologist!. They're the doctors who work with mental stuff (psychological, depression, anxiety, etc!.)!. If you have insurance, I'd suggest checking with them for a doctor who'd be covered under your plan!.
Chances are, your dad will receive some prescriptions to help him with his issues!. Be sure that he stays on it though, even when he's feeling better!. Because he will feel better, to the point where he might think he can stop the medication!. But the fact that he's feeling better just means that the pills are working!.
Another thing to mention: keep him away from caffeine!. I learned from a doctor (conversation on a plane) that caffeine neutralizes depression medicine!.!.!.it also makes depression worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
