Hey, new here

First time I notice this kind of forums, pretty cool. Well, to the point. I'm here to seek advice for a friend of mine. Recently, and by recently I mean today, I ask my friend when was that he was leaving to his hometown, he toll me in 3 months. So I ask why are you really leaving, then he said because he has to take care of his dad's business. To make it short, he feels like there's no point in living, that he feels like life is just meaningless, that sometimes he just wants to kill himself. Then I ask what makes you happy, he reply with "nothing really". I said what about your best friend, he said " yeah, but he and all of you are just part of the happiness, but that doesn't mean I'm happy". I really feel bad for him, I mean he's a closer friend and to know that he thinks this way, and the way he grew up makes me almost want to cry. It's this some kind of depression, or am I just overreacting? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance . Pd: if there's any information needed, just let me know.
