What I say you should do is try to help him, and always try to be his friend. But, what you really need to do is get said friend to a counsellor or other such person. They can help a lot. If you are scared for them, take them to get professional help. They may not like it, but they will most likely thank you in the end.
I know (Knew, in a way) someone who has having something that may have been similar. So, this friend, his friends noticed, his family noticed, and his teacher noticed. After a series of events, everything got well after he was prescribed an anti-depressant. And his life is now happy, and no one knows what has happened. Let this happy ending be that of your friend.

Just stay close to him and continue being a good friend to him, unless there's something specific he asks you to do.
I know someone who sounds like that at the moment. There's virtually nothing you can do but get professional help, like Noftin said, and do all that you have the power to do and hope for the best. Don't leave his side though (figuratively) and continue to love and care for him.

A lot of people feel that it's the wrong move to bring a friend to professional help. While it rarely is wrong, sometimes it's something that you just can't do. In that case, what you should do, is try to get him to talk to you. Once he's talking to you, all you have to do is listen. Many psychologists have realized that just listening to their patient allows them to solve their own problems. Other times, it doesn't help, and they ask them what kind of activities cause them problems. Then they usually tell them to stay away from those activities where possible, and to find releases that allow them to feel better.
Sometimes, you're the only help they have, and you can't go to other people. I sincerely hope that you can get professional help, but if not, try to help him in whatever way seems best.
