His vision at this point includes living in a room in the basement, eating his parents food, and playing video games for the rest of his life.
As hard is it might be you probably need to give him an ultimatum and a timeline for either moving into his own apartment or returning to school. The longer he sits around the harder it will be to change later on. I suffer from chronic depression myself and it's nearly impossible to make tough decisions it that state. By taking the burden on yourself and forcing him to confront himself you, in a sense, relieve him of the pressure holding him down and give him a better chance to take control of himself.
