HI Creed
3 weeks is really so little time when you are dealing with depression. What can happen when it becomes worse is that everything esacalates and slides and before you know it you are left wondering what happened? Sounds like he has slid very quickly to then leaving to get to his parents. This may not be a bad thing, and perhaps they are aware of his condition? Do they support the treatment that he has had?
Before he considered stopping the medication - he should be speaking with an expert in this field who can see all the picture. I also wonder if in fact he did stop taking it, and now he is just telling you he was considering it - when in fact he has been a bit hit and miss with the tablets. This may also coincide with the slide? All just guesses - but does anything ring as a possibility?
The last thing I would suggest if at all possible - can you go to the therapy session with him or at least the prescribing doctor? That way they can get a better picture of what is really going on? If they only hear from him, then it is very hard for them to see there is more in the frame.
Big hugs to you at this time.
