I think you handled the situation correctly. You can't do much. Just like you can't do much if a loved one is injured or sick and dying but they do not want to go to a doctor (this actually happened to a friend). It's very hard to get a handle on these situations because most 1st world countries have a strong concept of individual liberty. I am actually glad it is that way, but I also realize how awful those situations are. But frankly, I'd rather not erode liberty to better deal with such cases, I think the problem has to be attacked from another direction, i.e. not stigmatising mental health problems, more conversation, tolerance, education about mental health, etc.
