Please consult a psychiatrist at the earliest. Even though you are attributing his loss of interest in life to 'some past failures', it could be due to other mental health conditions which may be needing urgent psychiatric intervention.

Hi... Please consult a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist. If the frequency and intensity of his suicidal ideations are high, medications (anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotic) will be prescribed to avoid any risk to life. As his issues you have mentioned, appear to be more psycho-social in nature, Counselling will play a bigger role in treating it from the root. The decision to introduce medication or not, is upto the Psychiatrist. Pls don't decide on your own.
