I had a friend who was sorta a nerd.
One day I found out something really bad happened in his family and he wasn't himself.
So what I did was I tried to spend more time with him, invited him to more gatherings with other friends, and basically "dragged" him out of his house.
Over time he felt better because he had people to talk to, and he eventually perked up. Of course there were downtimes, but he was much better eventually.
Oh and this guy I knew loved Japanese porn as his fav site was https://avsanpuru.com (p/s: NSFW). So I just kept recommending popular videos and we bonded a lot more over that too lol.

Funny story but yeah. Glad he's all good now.
