Each suicide is a unique problem, and it cannot really be known what is the main cause behind it - let alone the experts. There are many things that can urge a person to end his own life, and this can differ from one person to another. What about celebrities and world artists?
1. Depression
For most problems, the urge to commit suicide is motivated by chronic, untreated mental constraints. More than 90 percent of people who commit suicide have had mental disabilities, whether it's mental stress, bipolar constraints, or other estimates. Some of the studies moreover show that successful non-artist-like CEOs are twice as risky as facing mental stress than universal citizens.
For example, the issue of suicide Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell. These two famous musicians have actually been struggling for a long time with mental constraints that have eroded them for years. Chester Bennington is known to struggle with mental stress, while Chris Cornell suffers from anxiety problems.
Explored even more deeply, the emergence of mental obstacles can be rooted in many different matters. Mental pressure can be triggered by childhood trauma, lack of sleep due to touring, until the demands of work to be able to continue to create perfect works every time.

The mass media's application to its self-image and fame can gradually stimulate a successful and popular person to deal with severe mental stress and mental stress. For example from gossip and hoax news, and a flood of negative opinions from citizens.
Mass media news about their success can also make them always equate themselves with others who seem more successful or popular. Slowly, this heavy pressure can erode his mental health.
The tendency for mental stress or other mental illness that ends in suicide can also be rooted in the practical fame they can. Heavy mind pressure to try to meet the grandiose and extraordinary expectations of close people so as not to disappoint fans can foster an indication of mental pressure.
Sometimes when you have reached the highest peak of career success, mental stress can be an anchor that makes you sink to the bottom very deep and darkest in life because you are constantly bombarded with requests and expectations of others to improve the quality of your work or must be even better.
Not only that, the mass media's implication of reporting the issue of suicide as if there was no stopping can also stimulate people who have been vulnerable to suicide to take action. For example, again the suicide of 2 close friends of Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell. Cornell's death is believed to have influenced Chester to help end his life with the exact same method: hanging himself.
3. Liquor and alcohol
Glamorous lifestyles in the upper classes are vulnerable to the influence of alcohol and drugs can stimulate the risk of mental stress and suicide. Alcohol and drugs can be addictive if you continue to eat too much in the long run. Addiction itself can depart from the beginning of trial and error which afterwards made an escape when experiencing the demands of a very heavy work.
Even so, the majority of alcohol and drug dependency problems were first started by mental pressure. Nearly one-third of people who first have severe mental stress then increase the problem of alcohol dependence. Moreover, some research tells us that young people who face severe mental stress can be twice as vulnerable to start drinking alcohol, compared to young people who don't have mental stress.
A research from Cornell University Medical College in New York tells us that more than fifty percent of the total suicides in the world are linked to alcoholism and drugs. The risk of attempted suicide let alone known 120 times greater felt by older people who are addicted to alcohol than people who are not.
If someone who has mental stress is accustomed to drinking alcohol, indications of depression can get worse and so tend to assume suicide. Moreover, the intoxicating effects of alcohol can make people play a reckless role without thinking. This suicidal thought that had been overshadowed had always been mad and made real after being "helped" by the influence of alcohol.
4. Negative stigma from the profession itself
The profession as a celebrity or art worker is an irony. You can be surrounded by many people, ranging from staff, individual bodyguards, to the booming fans but always feel alone and lonely.
Celebrities are usually required to continue to "keep the image" and put their own anxiety or sadness so as not to appear weak. This can make it hard for you to say emotions when you have to experience the weight of work pressure and cruel gossip from right and left, even though he feels really hopeless.
Great pressure to protect your self-image as perfect as possible can also make celebrities usually reluctant to seek help when facing mental stress or other mental health problems. They may be worried and afraid that they will be exposed by tabloids and nosy people when they get caught visiting a psychologist. The impact, this despair is going to continue to accumulate and "poison" the soul until the conclusion he is no longer sturdy to stem it.
