Rachna - I would strongly urge you to seek professional help for your son. New Zealand has a good public mental health service which will be able to provide support and counselling if needed.
I am assuming that you are using 'depression' in a clinical sense rather than he is very sad/upset/homesick etc. Left untreated, depression can become normalised in varying degrees. If as you say nobody will help him, I assume he has some insight and is seeking help.
I would strongly encourage him to go to the nearest public hospital - they will arrange a mental health assessment. Insight is the key and you can be thankful that he appears to want help. Good luck
