I think it is great that you want to help your friend. Most young people suffering as your friend is find themselves without friends for young adults don't understand what he is going through therefore they runaway.
The best thing you can do for him is what you are already doing, which is being there to offer your support. What he is suffering from requires medical treatment and medication, in most cases to overcome or control these problems. The medication itself is going to make him feel somewhat strange. As if he is walking around in a fog or a bit out of step with the rest of the world.
This is where your support comes in. Just be there to assure him everything is okay. That he is not as he may feel. A little TLC will go along way in making him feel better. Just holding him when he is anxious or having a panic attack will go along way in helping him cope.
For other ideas you might try asking his parents what you can do to help. I'm sure they will appreciate anything you are willing to do for him.

Just offer your support. I understand on a personal level what he is going through. In the end, it was the support that I got from my friends that helped me cope with it. Be there for him and make sure he knows it. If you can, try to get him to calm down and relax when you hang out. I hope this helps! :)
