If there are some concerns about his depression and harming himself, then I suggest you meet with his counselor. However, millions of people suffer from depression who do not harm themselves or others. And, he may be using his depression as a "threat" to keep him in your home and on the financial nipple. And, chronic depression is much different than suicidal depression, schizophrenia, etc.
And, since we don't know the type of depression your son experienced you should be cautious with any advice given.
But, sit down with your son and wife and counselor and work out a plan together. If he refuses, then you, wife and counselor need to work out a plan and tell him you are making a plan WITH or WITHOUT him and suggest he get on board. And, at some point in life everyone is responsible for their own choices good or bad.
