I believe the answer is: Further assessment is needed to determine the cause of these symptoms.

There are several possibilities (that require very different treatments) that might cause his situation. Further assessment is needed in order to find out whether the situation is caused by psychological disorder, or simply because he's just experiencing bad mood.
