In any chronic medical illness, it is common for patients to feel depressed and anxious. This can be due to a number of reasons: fear of death, pain, discomfort, loss of previously held abilities, dependence, etc. As he is expressing suicidal ideas, it is urgent that you consult a psychiatrist who will prescribe medication according to his symptoms. Ensure that he takes the medicine in a supervised capacity. Do not alter any dose without consulting your doctor. I am not clear what medication he is on currently. Consult your doctor immediately and inform them about his condition. Other than, family support is very important.
