People are actually more likely to kill themselves for reasons they believe are altruistic than any other reason.
I also have serious psychiatric problems and I find it hard to sympathize or empathize with people with things like minor depression. It is very common though, depression affects roughly 1 in 5 people in their lives and it does make their lives pretty miserable I think even if they aren't really that 'ill' like people with psychotic disorders.
I don't mind people who say they are struggling with feeling like there is nothing in life left for them, but I do get kind of annoyed with those who are constantly threatening suicide, it gets old, and boring, and sometimes it is just pure attention seeking.
