Provide...: Support, friendship, presence. Allow your friend to speak of his/her concerns. If this mood persists for two weeks or longer; or if she/he has thoughts of self harm; or is engaging in self-destructive actions--seek out professional help through your own md, or his/hers.

Needs doctor: Either a psychiatrist or psychologist can help treat depression, which is what it sounds like you friend has. Also encourage exercise, which has been shown to decrease depression.

This morning?: It sounds like something has happened which upset your friend a lot. Often relationship breakups, deaths, job loss, and various other events can precipitate painful reactions like you describe. Ask your friend to share with you what's hurting, if s/he can. Your presence may help. If these feelings continue for more than 2 weeks, your friend needs a doctor; if suicidal, needs this care now.
