<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I've been dating my boyfriend for just under a year. I went away for three months for work and when I got back last month, it became apparent during the first few weeks of me being back that something was off. 

We're both in college and he still lives at home. He's been fighting a lot with his parents due to conflicting views (they hold some pretty archaic ones) and hasn't been going home much, but that's only part of it.  

He's been sad and quiet a lot lately, which is not like him at all. He's expressed that he's a social person but whenever he's in group situations lately he feels very unhappy deep down. 

He's had anxiety issues before, but I don't think this is really the same thing. He's said also that there is something else wrong but he's too embarrassed to tell anyone. I won't pressure him to tell me, but I'm trying to have him go talk to a professional.

He's usually such a cheery and energetic person and I'm really worried about him. I don't really know if there's anything else I can do though, I just really want him to be happy again.
<bot>: My boyfriend has been very down lately and I don't entirely know why. Is there anything else I can do to help him?
