Get him a job.
It does not sort out his psycological problems, but after reading his post, I assume this will at least stop this from spiralling out of control and give him some peace of mind, at least for some time.
I know this is kind of an unconventional advice, but I feel like his current down is more about his life falling appart, so fixing this is the first priority, then comes takkling the depression.
With a huge mortage and no job its hard to make him view the world more optimistically.
Just my 2 cents.
PS: Is somebody here from B.C, Canada and in need of a Web-dev?
