The second most common Shinju in depression, the self-loathing variety. First off: Why is he hating himself? Has he done something to harm you or others? If he's harmed you, but you've moved on, the best thing to do is forgive him. If others, you should try to get him to talk to that party and convince them to forgive him (or even better, hand them this guide). Or, has he failed to do something he thought he should have? If everything turned out alright, remind him of this. If not, reassure him that everyone makes mistakes, and that he'll succeed next time. Perhaps he is demeaning himself, saying he's a terrible person? Remind him of his good points, tell him that everyone has their faults, and that faults don't define a person.]
*... feels like someone is talking about him behind his back*
