Very good for taking so much of care about your friend.
Have ever tried to speak to him regarding the problems he is facing.
If you feel he might not open up to you, I would suggest you to take him to a psychologist.

Talk to him frankly about what he perceive about him and that he might need treatment. Ask him to consult a psychiatrist for getting himself evaluated.
