People keep saying that "the stigma surrounding mental illness keeps many with depression from seeking treatment". This is probably true for a lot of people but it is very unlikely for Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain.
They were both very well to do and they were both in industries where having a psychiatrist is not stigmatized, it is practically a presumed fact.
The public is unlikely to ever know what treatment they were undergoing and what drugs they were using, but I do hope the FDA keeps track of these things. Antidepressants have been known to cause suicide.
I do not know the details, but from the little information I do know I think over treatment or improper treatment is a much more likely reason for those suicides than lack of treatment.
