That sounds terrible. It really sounds like they were already pretty far gone. I was able to get help with my depression from magic mushrooms, but it was at most a moderate case.

I'll just add myself as a case where a mild amount of psychedelic drug use led to a mild amount of depression. Strictly negative for me, even if not profoundly negative. I'm mostly fine now, years later, but I feel possibly permanently slightly worse in mood. I am not now nor have ever been "far gone".

LSD was negative for me. It basically made me realise that suicide was an option, and I struggled to stop thinking about it, even now

LSD was also bad for me. Just made me feel anxious and self-conscious. Sorry to hear it’s been so difficult for you.
