call a depression hotline immediately and perhaps tell your parents or maybe even his parents because this could be really serious. I would also recommend him getting a therapist

I have suffered depression, and my boyfriend was really helpful. Some things that you can do are
-make sure he's in counseling
-is he on medication? you can look into that.. it helps A LOT
-encourage him that it's okay to cry
-take naps with him. sleep ALWAYS helps my depression
-try to keep him TALKING about it.
-get him into church perhaps? this helps out a lot. it is encouraging..
-simply be there for him

Yes, been there felt like that. You have to get him help. Sometimes talking about it is a cry for help.Give him lots of encouragement. Tell him how much you love him. Don't leave him alone if you think he is serious.

Call the suicide hotline yourself -- express your concerns -- ask their advice
And see that he connects with a Dr.
