Apologies if this is not the correct sub for this and my for my english as it is not my primary language.
So I have this friend who used to hang out with my friend group (a mixed group of around 23 people) all the time. My friends get together almost weekly and sometimes even multiple times a week.
Lately one of us doesn’t join anymore and as far as we know he does not hang out with other people. He just works all the time and says he want to join but every time he is supposed to come he just doesn’t show up. Multiple people have reached out to him but he just keeps quiet.
Before this all hapened he told some of us he was feeling depressed but he is shutting everybody out now.
I just don’t know how to help him if he seems like he does not want any help.

Might have a depressive episode. Try giving them space. Could write stuff like “i assume you don’t feel well. Write when you are ready to talk/interact” and then stop sending them messages till they send you something (as seeing a lot of missed messahes can be discouraging).
A friend of mine went no contact for a month, then poped back up.
