I suppose it is difficult to define depressions in such a way that they can be tabulated in statistics. That being said, I know of noone in my extended circle of friends (friends of friends of friends of friends) who has committed suicide. In the US, I knew personally two and heard of a number of others. Not that that tells us anything, but it is the only thing I have to go by. Then again you have Edvard Munch's painting, Strindberg's writing, Bergman's films ... it seems to find channels of expression, if there is an undercurrent of depression.
