It's true that not everyone who suffers depression attempts suicide.. and it is also true that not everyone who attempts suicide suffers a mental illness.

What that person did was a symptom of a greater problem. I don't think that we should be labelling that problem as being mental illness unless we know that he suffered with a mental illness AND that it was the cause of his actions.

Correlation doesn't equate to causation.
