My friend had a teenage relationship with someone. He was deeply in love. He had a breakup and it deeply saddened him. He couldn't forget his past even after 2 years( in this years he went far away from that town, with no social media and other connections with the world). I thought things would go well after so many years. But it deteriorated. He started losing hope and faith on the world. Though he smiles he is hurt and he gets suicidal thoughts. Should I suggest him for an appointment with a doctor or ge will recover after time?

Its a common saying "time heals everything". but if we actually reflect upon it majority of people are suppressing those emotions in a better way with time which further leads to problems.
giving mind a space to feel and heal requires skillfully managing emotions and dealing with them rather avoiding them with distractions.
The symptoms of your friend shows that he is in immediate need of counselling.
Hypnotherapy and mindfulness therapy works very well for such issues.
Hi
I understand your friend is going through a difficult time with the breakup. It seems like he wanted his own space where he did not want to be disturbed. Your friend is very upset and he is going through a difficult period. It will be good if he consults a psychologist. Talking to someone who will help and support him such as a psychologist can help him feel better.
Hey,
I understand how difficult and challenging it is for your friend to go through this phase.
Few things you can reflect upon:
1. If your friends condition would have improved, it would have improved until now. He had disconnected from everything and everyone and still he is mentally stuck in the past. Things have not improved but have gone bad.
Immediate therapeutic interventions are must.
Psychotherapy can be very beneficial for your friend and can help him overcome this situation.
2. Suicidal thoughts are impulsive thoughts which needs careful and immediate attention.
3. Highly recommended to his friends and family members to be with him emotionally at this point.
You can connect with me to book your therapy session and we can plan it ahead.
Love and Joy,

Hi.
"Take a closer look at your thoughts
Write down recurring thoughts…negative thoughts about oneself, one’s future, and the world are common; these thoughts are often distortions that feel real and often perpetuate unhelpful behaviors. By writing down these thoughts, one can begin to see the distortions a bit more clearly.
Challenge the distortions- is it accurate? Or does it just feel real? Are you taking into account the evidence? Does it help to think this way?
Limit rumination- rumination and depression go hand in hand; rumination is a type of thinking where you rehash a moment over and over again; you can learn to limit rumination by being more aware of it and redirecting yourself towards doing something more helpful. For example, when you are aware that you are ruminating, take notice of you are doing and what is around you. And ask yourself “what is one thing that I can do right now that is good for me?”
Identify unhelpful behaviors and replace them with healthy, helpful behaviors
Build a sense of mastery-this involves setting realistic, achievable goals daily; rather than tackling big ticket items, break them down into smaller, more manageable units. This sense of mastery will also help to chip away at the unhelpful distortions.
Reduce avoidance/procrastination—this will also promote a sense of accomplishment and self-efficacy
Avoid making big decisions or contemplating major life decisions during this time
Engage in healthy joyful activities—this can involve something as small as brewing a nice cup of tea, listening to a favorite song, sending an email/text to a friend, dancing in your own space
Stay connected to friends and family- it might help to let them know what you are experiencing and how they can help.
Practice self-compassion--being harsh or overly critical is not helpful, give yourself some grace and kindness.
Review micro-successes daily—when feeling depressed, it is easy to overlook successes and accomplishments. Hence, being intentional in reviewing these moments can help offset the feelings of failure and hopelessness.
If you are experiencing severe depressive symptoms, it may be time to seek out professional help. Signs of severe depression include:
Symptoms that are intense, paralyzing, and/or unrelenting (last months)
Inability to care for yourself (basic needs) or attend to daily responsibilities or relationships
Symptoms that are accompanied by substance abuse, self-harm, and/or thoughts of suicide" (Reference)
If he is getting suicidal thoughts you should consult a doctor without wasting time plus his family and friends should be there for him. So inform his caregivers to act maturely with him so that he can cope and come out of this phase nicely.

Effects of a breakup in some people is never easy. The end of a relationship can flip your world upside down and trigger a range of emotions. Some people quickly accept the demise of a relationship and move on, but others may deal with depression.
This can be a heartbreaking time, and it can feel as if your world is falling apart. But while sadness and a heightened emotional state are normal reactions after a breakup, it’s important to recognize the symptoms of depression.
Depression can happen to anyone after a breakup, but some people are at greater risk.
Your friend is in greater risk. Make sure that he consults as soon as possible.
Next Steps
Despite the rollercoaster ride of a breakup, it’s possible to heal and overcome mental anguish. The outlook is positive with treatment, but it’s important that person should not ignore prolonged negative feelings and sadness. The healing process varies for each person. But with the help of friends, family, and maybe a Psychologist your friend can overcome depression and move on after a relationship ends.
Health Tips
Ways to cope with depression that don’t involve professional help include:
Exercise: Physical activity can strengthen your immune system and boost your energy. Exercise also increases your body’s production of endorphins, which can improve his mood. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity at least three times a week.
Keep busy: Explore hobbies and keep his mind occupied. If you’re feeling depressed, read a book, go for a walk, or start a project around the house.
Get plenty of sleep: Getting plenty of rest can also improve hid mental well-being and help him to cope after a breakup.
Namaste,
Regret to hear what you’re friend is going through. Heart breaks at any age or stage of life are hard, especially in teenage. He probably hasn’t processed the emotional hurt well and has been trying to find solace in escaping reality which might’ve been helpful but temporarily. Since already 2 years have passed but he hasn’t bettered, taking professional help is highly recommended given suicidal ideations are present too.
