Your son seems to be paranoid. He definitely needs medication. Once his symptoms are under control, he should also start psychotherapy and learn to his thoughts that are bothering him. With proper medication, counseling and self care he should be able to manage himself well.

It is not depression but paranoid symptoms and psychosis, suggestive of schizophrenia if the symptoms are more than 1 month in duration. Arip and fludac are too low in dosage. Anyway wait for 2-4 weeks for improvement and better dosage with a better medicine would be good for him.
