Seriously, if stoicism is so good for mental health why did so many of them suicide? And why was Marcus Aurelius specifically such a poor father? Seems like a bad track record to me. I'd rather party with the Nietzscheans.

Different cultures at different times viewed suicide differently under different situations.

Suicide is not necessarily a result of a mental problem.
