If your friend really had some kind of (presumably internet-related) breakdown, it would be best for them to take a break and 'not' seek endless confirmation from an anonymous stream of people who do not actually know them.
If you consider yourself someone's friend, 'you' should talk to them and be there for them. Write them an email - which is a lot more private and you can talk about personal stuff you would not mention publicly. (Only the both of you and the NSA will read it.)
