You will no doubt hear a wide variety of answers, but here is my 0.2 cents.

They Bible clearly states there is only one unpardonable sin, and this ain't it.

I believe a mental illness can affect a Christian to the point that they might commit suicide. Some will say that is nonsense, but we know that we are not immune to physical ailments, and true mental illness has a physiologic basis. If a true Christian has a true mental illness and commits suicide, I think they will enter the Kingdom.

Now, if your friend has shared this with you, I think you have a serious responsibility to discuss it with his family physician, pastor, or someone who can intervene on his behalf. Do not subject yourself to a lifetime of guilt because you are worried about betraying the confidence of a friend.

If by some chance you are talking about yourself, please seek help now.

A better question might be, is he truly saved? If someone commits suicide to avoid shame, humiliation, etc, I wonder if they are truely walking with the Lord.
