I can't really give the same advice that has been given to me because I am Christian, so I have a lot of people surrounding me that love me and know how to help. idk

1. Try to get professional help.

2. This is a link to a website about what to say to a person who says they have depression.

3. The advice on my profile, like the "For People Like Me" part,  (which is not my own words), is probably good advice to share. (If you wanna hear the better original version, then I'de suggest watching the video it's from on YouTube, My Mentally Abusive Father by PantlessPajamaDoodles.

4. Make sure he isn't doing or going to do anything he regrets or is going to regret.

5. Try not to let him belittle himself.

6. Try to encourage him.

7. Try not to rush him into being back to a safe mental state. Things like these take a lot of time to heal from.

Not to pry, but do you happen to know why he's feeling this way? Or is it just because one day he had a thought about life and realized how much it didn't mean to him? Knowing why might help you understand more. Idk. For me, I was bullied when I first went to a new school and didn't realize how much it affected me until I went to another new school. but that's just my experience. This is all the advice I can give now hope it helps somehow. there are plenty of websites, hotlines, and better sources than me, but thanks for asking.
