>Don't know how to do this professionally
You don't, because it's unprofessional.

Keep your work, academic, and personal life separate.

"Sorry I've been uncommunicative, I've been dealing with some health issues. Thank you for checking in."

What about it is unbelievable? The lack of details? Health is a private thing, not wanting to give details about health issues to non-family is a perfectly common decision.

I guess you have a point.
Him and I were kinda close, what do I say if he asks what's wrong with me? Should I just say I'm sorry it's private?
Sorry for all the questions, I haven't even told my parents that I'm depressed so I'm in unexplored territory now.

It's totally up to you. If you do, he should even be able to point you toward some useful resources on campus. If he's a professional and compassionate person, he might even cut you some slack on whatever it is he's waiting for from you.

I really recommend telling your folks, though. Suffering from depression alone is awful.
I mean, it's always awful, but more so when you're alone.
