Hello,
He may have social anxiety, which might have brought on his depression. My granddaughter and my son both have social anxiety and have been going to online school ever since COVID and doing very well at it. It's not home schooling.. it's actually online school with actual teachers. Hope this helps.

Here's right out of Mayo site...as you can see you can do a LOT to mitigate other hard-to-control factors

Lifestyle and home remedies
• Take care of yourself. Eat healthy, be physically active and get plenty of sleep. Consider walking, jogging, swimming, gardening or another activity that you enjoy. Sleeping well is important for both your physical and mental well-being. If you're having trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor about what you can do.

Yes, I as a 80 y.o. practice this Everyday. More out of feeling good immediately afterwards. Really.

But also "Try to connect with people. Talk with people you trust about how you are feeling." as Mayo site says.

Good luck!
