Almost seems to be living in a lethargy. Very little motivation to do anything - get out of bed, eat, participate in anything (will do all of the above with a huge amount of effort).
Who deals with this type of problem? Therapist? Dr.? psychiatrist? Rebbe?
I'm leaning toward therapist. Does anyone have experience with this?

First thing is a full work up, make sure that includes testing for Lyme. If everything is totally normal you go the psychiatric route together with therapy.

Interesting. Would the dr. test for that just b/c I ask for it? Or when I say I want a full workup they know what to be on the lookout for?
Thanks!

They should, but not all doctors are equal so get a recommendation for a good, thorough one. Especially when it comes to Lyme not everyone will catch it.

First pediatrician for basic blood work. Check anemia, thyroid, etc.
Next try to have a heart to heart with him. What does he need? To get involved in something meaningful? To get a hobby he enjoys?
Next I strongly recommend going to his Rebbi before a therapist.
But if that doesn't help, definitely a therapist. Save a psychiatrist for last.
