What are you water parameters? What is your water changing schedule? How warm is the water? What other fish are in there?

How long have you had him?
He may be stressed... bettas do better alone or in a situation where they can have lots of their own space.
Do you have a QT tank or a small setup you could put him in? As long as it's heated, you could get away without a filter if you do several 50% PWCs weekly. If he perks up when housed by himself, it's time he gets his own "room"-- a nice 3-5 gallon tank will do. They love live plants, too, so it's a good excuse to play with aquascape!
