Let's say hypothetically (although this has definitely happened in real life before), someone committed suicide because they were in constant, unbearable physical pain due to something (illness, accident, etc.)
Most people would probably be more understanding, and see why someone could be driven to suicide under those circumstances.
Yet when it comes to mental health, most people don't understand just because they can't see it or relate to it. Everyone can understand physical pain because we've all felt physical pain before. A lot of people cannot understand mental pain because they have never really felt it before, or because they have some stints with depression and think that is rock bottom.
There's different levels to this just like there is different levels to physical pain. There's I'm depressed, I don't have as much energy, and I sleep more than I should. And there's feeling utterly hopeless, mind is dissociating, can't sleep at all, and the only way out I see is suicide.
