Agreed. Depression does not always mean they are willing to actually kill themselves. I've suffered from depression at various tiems during my life, and may have even made the odd comment about it, but i'd have never killed myself. Hell, I was into cutting for a bit there. Doesn't mean I would actually end it.
Before you do something to "drive him further" as you say, learn all you can about the ways his conditions can manifest themselves. You may find that there are many things you didn't know, that TOTALLY up-end the way you perceive his situation.
Good luck, you're a good friend.
