Someone close to me.......

Relax and give them some time.  Stop writing the future for someone else based on your neurosis.

Being concerned with someone's mental health is not trying to dictate to them or write their future. I do have something to say about this, because I have dealt with this myself. I have been suicidal myself, and I can tell you, it was far worse when I did believe, and back then I came a shitload closer to doing it back then. I am telling you, old mythology is not a replacement for modern psychology/neurology/medicine.

Then suggest they seek professional help.

Without the over-the-top way that you have.

You said you know how they will react because you know how they reacted to stresses in the past.  No, you don't know.  You think you have an idea based on history but time has passed since then and this is a different set of stressors.

Just because you have mental health issues doesn't make you qualified to diagnose or suggest a specific treatment for anyone else.

But watch for that hood and Swastika...
