Any analysis blaming the US suicide rate on individualism has to somehow cope with the fact that in (relatively) collectivist countries with similar incomes (UK, France, Japan) the suicide rate is much higher.

UK suicide rate is about half that of the US, according to Wikipedia (6.2 vs 12.1 per 100k per year).
