Suffering can also be a gift too. It changes people's lives.

Belief in the existence of God, or being open to it, leads to entrusting oneself to a Creator. The 'promise' that God supports his friends in illness and affliction is very true for many people.

The command “Do not worry, do not fear” can be helpful to a suffering person.

Also, I should report that when a person develops virtue, problems of the mind tend to diminish significantly (something I've seen). Practicing virtue can bring great peace to a person. “For they (the holy teachings) are life to those who find them, and health to the whole body. ” (proverbs)

No reason it seems. Hotels are quite lonely places, stiflingly confined at times. I used to go out for long walks with no aim for anywhere and then try to find my way back to the hotel. It's, maybe, all about living with your own head - some just want to get out of that place and there is only one way.

I’ve had anxiety and depression in short bursts from time to time. Took Zoloft it was horrible dropped it after 5 days
It’s interesting that when you have no reason to feel down it happens anyway. I’m ok now but getting older makes you retrospective and thoughtful about past mistakes.
It’s been said that man is the only creature that is born crying and dies disappointed.
 
Noirua, there seems to be a lot of suicide going on.
I wonder if the worry of some past indiscretion, causes the pressures of falling from grace, causes an implossion?
Or if they really are in a mental state, that thinks death is the only escape?
Or they are on some sort of drug, that causes manic depression, I can't see that one being right.

No doubt it's a complex subject. Obviously the increasingly changing society and technology mania, expectations, demands and so forth push people in a certain direction whether they want to go there or not.
I remember a person at a company many years ago. He looked out of the company's window, saw the sunshine, said, "Holidays". After lunch he had disappeared. That is it really, he was able to get out of life's determinable cycle.

He played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins, where he earned first-team all-conferencehonors in the Pac-10 (known now as the Pac-12) as a sophomore in 2011. Honeycutt was selected by the Sacramento Kings in the second round of the 2011 NBA draft. He played with the Kings for two seasons and in 2013 moved to Europe, where he played for EuroLeague clubs Khimki and Anadolu Efes. He committed suicide after a shoot-out with police on July 6, 2018.

On the night of July 6, 2018, Honeycutt's mother called 911 and reported that he had been acting erratically. When police arrived they found that he had barricaded the entrance to his Sherman Oaks home before opening fire at them; he was later found dead inside the house from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.[21][22]
