Any kind of mental health issue can throw off libido, and covid times are making depression and anxiety very much more present than before. Also, men don’t like to seek help so... it’s hard to tackle.
As someone else in the UK, I can tell you that friends with depression during the lockdown get help from doctors pretty quickly, in the form of trial medication, so it’s worth him having a phone appointment with the GP.
Also might be worth getting a medichecks testosterone/thyroid test, as sometimes depression can be simple low hormone levels.
as for how to convince the guy to seek help when he’s already acknowledging a problem, I’m not sure... other than to be supportive and problem solving?

I would definitely look into testosterone levels. It’s amazing when you are low and think it’s depression and then get your levels corrected.
