I need some help

I have a friend and he has suicidal thoughts. I don't know how to encourage him. He had been depression more than two years. Can someone help me with this? Btw, sorry with my bad english.

Please advise him to seek for professional help! And maybe talk with his family about this. Support & cheer for him would also help him a lot since depression is not something easy to deal with, what he truly needs is someone who understands him, supports, cheers & thinks that he is matter. Find ways to make he feels he needs to live, death is not the way out and he can still find happiness, but if it get worse, please call the suicide hotline

You could advise your friend to seek a professional help. If he's only having suicidal thoughts and not currently doing self harm, I guess you could still cheer him up by doing fun activities. Or just be a friend who will listen to whatever it is that's bothering him or making him depressed. If it's getting worse though, let his family know what he's going through, I'm sure they will help him cope up with depression.
