I think my neighbour needs help...

Unusual situation here. I frequently hear my neighbour - a fifty-something single male - shouting at night. It usually happens around 1 or 2 AM. He wakes up (I assume) and starts shouting "F*ck! F*cking c*nt! F*cking moron! You f*cking moron/c*nt" over and over. The lights come on within a couple of minutes (that's why I assume he was asleep) and the shouting continues for a while, then dies down. Thing is, he lives alone. He works a job, but never has any visitors. I'm pretty sure he's shouting at himself, or perhaps at the memory of someone he knew. Either way, he clearly has issues.

I'd like to help, but knocking on his door and saying "hi, I live downstairs and think you should see a doctor" doesn't seem like a good way of going about it. I could just leave it and do nothing, but there's so much venom in his voice, the guy sounds to me like he's a hair-width away from topping himself, or worse. Should I do anything, and if so, what?
