First off, I am so sorry to hear that your friend is struggling, and that you too are suffering going through this with him!. It must be very tough for you to watch him suffer, and I know that he'll appreciate having someone sticking by him!.
To answer your question the best I can, I will tell you that ADHD has a high co morbidity rate with other mental health disorders!. We often say that it is a tag-on disorder!. It defiantly sounds like your friend is suffering from bipolar disorder and is in a "manic" state!. It also sounds as though he may be "rapid cycling"!. Sometimes after people with a mood disorder (such as bipolar I) go through traumatic events (such as the death of a family member or relationship issues) their moods suffer!.
Please don't take his statements about wanting to hurt or kill himself lightly!. Because his mood is unstable it may appear that he is ok, but during an extreme manic or depressive episode, he may act on these impulses!.
In cases like this, I would suggest you seeking professional help for your friend!. In the case that he would need to be hospitalized, they would be able to stabilize him using medication!. Please, please, please message me if there are any questions I can answer for you!.

Suicide-proneness itself is a disease!. Many problems are created by ourselves!. Imagination run riot which makes us pessimistic!. Some people cannot see the bright side of things!. That is the problem!. Cultivate to maintain the habit that everything is for the good and it is the will of God!. Then you will become calm!. Also believe that we have no right to take away the life granted to us by God!. God alone is the authority for birth and death!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
