I'm sorry to hear that your friend is struggling way.
Does he have any professional support in his life?
It sounds like your friend is not ready to hear possible solutions to whatever his situation is, and I know how frustrating that can feel.
If he is violent or has made violent statements toward you or others, please put your physical safety first and inform the right people.
If he is not asking for help and seems resistant, then I would just engage in active listening. However, it's perfectly reasonable to set boundaries on how much you are willing to listen to him rant.
