I know about the situation better than most, from both perspectives. His mind is far stronger than any drug and comes with no side effects. Medication should be a last resort when he seriously cannot cope but as it is, he's bored.

It's a vicious cycle because you lack the motivation someone would normally have, so it's extra hard but you have to realise nothing gets done on it's own. It builds character, ways of dealing with the situation should it ever arise again rather than him thinking, 'Oh, need to get some meds'.
Unless there are other underlying issues, a bad bout of depression can be cured without the need for medication and not using it will benefit you in the long run too. I don't know Mark but from what I can gather he's just feeling anxious with life and needs to fix the issue(s) at hand.
