I think the post is very interesting, and not completely obvious.
It's not as much about people deciding whether or not to commit suicide; it is, that all of the benefits of intelligence also come with one potentially huge evolutionary problem, suicide.
Given that any natural variance in likelihood to commit suicide should be very heavily selected for or against, what adaptations might we have that were picked up to decrease it's likelihood?
The idea in the post is that some mental illnesses may be connected to these adaptations.
