Do you believe that only mentally ill people commit suicide?

The bankers and accountants that committed suicide when the stock market crashed were all suffering from mental health problems?
The farmers that committed suicide during the Foot & Mouth outbreak were all suffering from mental health conditions?

Yeah. Not being able to cope with stress to the point of killing yourself is not usually a sign of sturdy mental health. Those events aren't the entire cause of suicides in most cases. They're triggers for underlying (perhaps multiple) issues which may have rarely, or ever, had cause to manifest sooner... or, they are concealed well from others in most circumstances. It's pretty intuitive, as well. Many people experience hard failure in finance or relationships. Most people don't kill themselves over it. It's not normal behavior, even the reasons might make some sense to us.

I'm married to a psychologist and I'm learning these things from her.
