Hello, Delljoy. Thank you for these details of your friend's life. Even if circumstances weren't so bleak, I suspect his depression has developed a life of its own.
The chances he'll emerge from this state on his own are minimal. You can't force him to go for help, but I think you are providing excellent support. I just wish your support would be rewarded more obviously and quickly - though that's rarely the case with depression.
