Can you source this?

The first paragraphs of the article give both direct quotes from people saying they had that experience, and then cites a report from British psychologists saying they'd observed this effect at scale. Did you read the article?

Are you saying that climate change is so widely accepted and feared that it's causing the rate of suicides to increase.

It risks doing exactly that:

"Studies from around the world document growing anxiety and depression, particularly among children, about climate change."

People aren't scared of climate change as actually observed, they're scared of what they're being fed by people like Greta Thunberg, who is lying about the expected scale of the impact. The fact that journalists, politicians and even a few scientists are saying this despite it being false is what the article is about.
