   I seriously doubt it.   
      
   I don't appreciate your conflation of the suicidal with suicide bombers,   
   either; it is a common mistake but one which has little basis in fact.   
   There have been a few books published recently discussing the motivations   
   driving suicider bombers.  These motivations rarely include "depressed"   
   or "tired of life" which tend to drive the truly suicidal.   
      
   Suicide bombers see themselves as martyrs for a cause they fervently support;   
   many of the suicidal would be hard pressed to find any cause that excited   
   them other than death.  And causing the deaths of innocent others is quite   
   often anathema to us.
