Regarding your edit, at no point is it said Japan has low incidence of depression; the claim made is that they have few diagnoses of depression. The article takes care to point this out. I would take these numbers to mean that Japanese people are not receiving adequate treatment for their depression (of which diagnosis is an obvious first step), contributing to the suicide rate.
