Does this friend ask you for help?
In general, if other person did not explicitly ask for help, you shouldn't do it.
Even if he does ask for help, be very careful and share responsibility for any expected outcome. Otherwise there is a danger of entering an energy-draining Karpman's triangle, and you don't want that happening, believe me.
It is very hard watching other people suffering, but as with First Aid, you have to take care of your own safety. Otherwise there will be two casualties instead of one.
