They also elaborate that there are many people who attempt to commit suicide due to their life situation, despite not previously being mentally ill or having a history of such, like people who don't want their families to have to pay expensive medical bills for a terminal illness.

So in a way, everyone is right. Mental illness is the leading cause of suicide, but there are other causes as well. Now, let's all go back to our lives.
