@nickokaka To add on to what Tiff was saying, just being there to listen to them is a huge helper. Obviously, following what Tiff said, be careful with positive reinforcement since it can work backwards a lot, but honestly just being there for someone to unload and get their demons off their chest really helps them. Ultimately no one but them can beat their depression in the long run, but overcoming anything like this on your own is really difficult. If it persists I'd gently suggest that he seek assistance of some kind, like some kind of therapy and possibly antidepressants. Suicide is never the answer, but when you're in that state of being it can sure seem really welcoming. I hope your friend can recover from this.
