It is often difficult when someone seems to be suffering from depression to actually get them to see a doctor. Ironically, if they went and got a diagnosis and treatment, their lives would be radically improved. Often, the only thing you can do is to gently coax the person concerned into going to see the family doctor for a "check up". Or you can go yourself to the doctor, if the person concerned is a member of the family, and ask for some help and advice. I don't know what country you are from, but most countries have help-lines, here in the UK we have Saneline, for example, details of which are on the internet. It would certainly be worth calling a mental health help-line for more advice, as they are used to these situations.
