Please,
father of my friend is having serious suicidal thoughts.
He has been for a long time in a pitiful state,
but no one has the courage to send him to psychiatric hospital, because he doesn’t want to go.
Please pray for him!
 
May Our Blessed Mother wrap Her mantle of Mercy around this poor man and protect him and save him from himself.

While he may stay depressed, or get over it, there is the chance he will kill himself. The friend should get him to a doctor ASAP & tell the doctor the reason for the visit - depressed people don’t always tell the truth. The doctor will know where to go from there.
 
This sounds like a serious situation. Men are statistically more likely to actually kill themselves. There are of course other factors. Please support your friend in getting her Dad to a Doctor or emergency room asap, and/or, if suicide seems imminent, call the police and ask them for help in making out a petition for care/involuntary admittance to a hospital.

Praying for your friend and her father. She is lucky to have a friend in you.
 
As someone who suffers from bipolar disorder, I am well aware of these feelings that this father is feeling. It is mandatory that you get him help, and the quickest way to do this is to take him to the Emergency Room at your local hospital. This is of utmost importance and will eventually lead to him getting the medical help that he needs to manage and eventually overcome his illness. Run, don’t walk, to your nearest hospital.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

since you mentioned hospitalization, don’t guess or take medical advice from an internet forum.
 
Lord, please send comforting angels to this father and grant him many graces for wisdom, joy, fortitude, and temperance. Show him the beauty of your creation and lead him as a shining light unto the eternal garden, now and forever. Comfort those who suffer with him and accept all prayers related to this matter as united with your Passion. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.
 
I pray that your friend’s father will realize that his depression is not natural, and that he needs to go to a doctor. In other words, that he is blessed the same way I was. And I pray that, if he doesn’t, your friend’s family is blessed with enough sense to override his objections, and get him admitted anyway.
Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Php 4:6-7

May you receive that peace.

Call a suicide hotline and ask them what to do. This forum could give you the wrong answer - ask a professional.

But I’ll say a prayer!
