Do you honestly think in this specific scenario access to mental professionals would help? I don't think these suicides are exactly due to mental issues or clinical depression. Certainly not saying it's the correct action, but drowning in debt with no job options isn't exactly solved by talking it out or going on meds.

A huge part of depression is having a negative and cyclic thought process. "I can't afford to spend money on Christmas gifts for my kids, I'm a bad parent. I can't get a job, I'm worthless to a company. I'm worthless to my family if I can't provide. If I had any worth I could buy Christmas presents and have a job." Whatever it takes for someone to break that thought process, be it counselling or meds, is a worthy endeavor.
