A teen has faced court in Melbourne over the stabbing death of a tradie in the city's southeast.

Young carpenter Cam Smith, 26, died near Seaford station on Wednesday night.

Jack Ledlin, 19, faced Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday afternoon, charged with his murder.

Ledlin's lawyer Brett Barratt said the teen had been diagnosed with ADHD and post-traumatic stress disorder.

He said he was on medication for the former, and asked that his young age also be recorded in custody management notes.

Ledlin was arrested on Thursday, the same day as a 17-year-old from Frankston was charged with affray, intentionally causing injury and committing offences while on bail over the incident.

Ledlin has not applied for bail and his case was adjourned for a committal mention on March 25.
