I did some research on the why. In this case above its the easiest to explain. Trauma from war. But the other explanations are all over the place. Basically, their minds are not thinking like ours. Thats why its hard for us to understand. They feel an overwhelming pressure for different reasons. None would cause us to commit suicide. The best "reason" I've seen is that there is some kind of chemical imbalance in their brains.

I should amend my statement above to say I was referring to celebrities killing them selves. Whatever problems they think they are having is made up in their head and not real world issues that most of us face. They need to get some perspective, help and realize their life doesn't suck.
