<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

My best friend who I have know for ten years tried to kill himself last week and spent the last few days in a mental hospital and has just been released. I just found out and have no idea what to do. I've know he's been depressed for a while and have tried to be there for him as much as possible but we live far away from each other (college) and it's hard to catch up sometimes. The last time we talked I believe was the day or day before he tried. I have spoken to him very very briefly with him since finding out confirming that he is okay and I don't want to be overbearing, but this guy is basically my brother and I want to be there for him as much as possible. He has been living at home for a while and I know he is lonely, but with his parents. Should I ask his parents if I can visit him some time soon? Is that too overbearing. I have already left him a message and a voice mail letting him know how much he means to me and everyone he knows and that I am glad he is okay. Any advice?
