Why do humans commit suicide?

Ive been sucidal before. The sufffering (mostly emotional) becomes too strong, and you just want it to stop. High IQ and shithole parents is the main reason for the suffering in my case

Suicide, when we think of it as a mental illness, is always done as a way to make the pain end. Again, in the context of it being a mental illness, people who commit suicide are in intense pain either physical, emotional, or even both and believe, either correctly or incorrectly, that there is no other available option to end the pain they're feeling other than ending it all.
