There isn't much you can do other than encourage them, be there for them when you can, and let them realize that you are their friend unconditionally, and as such you need to encourage them to seek medical help. There are doctors who can determine exactly what the problem is.

How do you prevent suicidal?

Personally, it breaks my heart when kids want to kill themselves because they have so much ahead of them. I think you should talk them through this. I know from personal experience because I have tired to talk to people through this. And to those who think teenagers who are actually depressed are trying to get attention listen up. It really does make me angry when depression is not taken seriously because it can be very dangerous and lead to suicide. Yes, some teenagers will do that to get attention but that does not go to every teenager. Most of the time when someone says they are depressed I can tell they are not trying to get sympathy because they would say stuff like, "I feel suicidal." Yes, you are probably thinking, "How can you tell? You are not a mind reader." You are right. I am not. But when someone is about to kill themselves, I take it very seriously and try to talk them out of it or get them help, even if they were to get mad at me for telling because I will not loose a friend.
