Is the student a minor? If so, referral to the school counselor is the place to start. The counselor will evaluate the student for possible problems and will take it from there including consultations with the student's parents.
If this is a college student / adult the teacher may or may not feel responsible for looking after the non-curriculum needs of the student. About the most a teacher can likely do at this level is to ask the student about their behavior and refer them to Student Health if appropriate. It would likely be best to suggest to them that many students struggle with the many demands of college life and that Student Health can be helpful in teaching them how to juggle it all without stressing too much. If Student Health finds more serious problems, they'll handle it from there.

As a teacher, my advice is to be a good role model, be sensitive to the student's needs (make sure he/she isn't being picked on etc.) Check the student's records to see if this is a new behavior and make sure you write everything down so you have records. If you find this behavior happens outside your class (meaning, it's just not you-because sometimes students have difficulty with one particular teacher) and you believe it is definitely a problem, call in the parents for a conference to go over your concerns. I would suggest consulting the principal and counselor for advice prior to setting up the conference.

The teacher should focus more on educating the child rather than the child's depression and antisocial attitude.
Concerns regarding this should be referred to the school counselor and then be dismissed.
It is not the teacher's responsibility or business regardless of the circumstances- it the teacher's job to educate the child.

I'm a teacher and to me every kid needs alot of love and understanding and the teachers have to deal with kids who are painfully shy and not very social. But if the teacher could pair that kid up with one kid in the class then that could help I should know I was very shy and not very social when I got to the 5th grade that changed. But my teacher helped me with that. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

Have the school social worker set a time to have a one on one evaluation to determine what is going on. The child just my need tutoring or have other serious issues going on.

I would definitely refer him to the school psychologist and get his counselor involved as well.
