It's really appreciating that you are concerned about your friend . But I would suggest you call his family members anyhow and involve them as it would be better for him and you as well. He might require admission and long term management. You need to find a psychiatrist near your place.

Next Steps

Inform family members asap and guide them to psychiatrist
