If he's been under a lot of stress of late, that's another clue. Get him to a doctor and have him describe what he's been through and how he feels on a day-to-day basis. The empty feeling and not being able to connect with others is a signal that something is not right.
I've had some experience with friends and loved ones who've been through this and it ain't a picnic for them... nor for the people around them who care about them. I hope he won't put up a fuss and will be willing to talk to a professional about this.
If there's a chance he could be clinically depressed, it needs to be investigated as it is treatable.
Good luck to both of you!
