In one hospital. That alone makes it pseudoscience. A years worth of suicides is likely between 10-40 suicides, which is tragi but doesn't show that the quarentine is causing the problems it says. For example, the rise could be due to medical workers being overtaxed due to the pandemic, or some change in which hospital is receiving patients like this.

That's not how science works. Please stop calling it pseudoscience just because you don't agree with the findings.

What two people say they experienced is not science. Even calling is pseudoscience is generous, it's an anecdote.

Science is based on observations. And I hope you realize the pseudoscience is far worse than anecdote (which is a personal observation).
Furthermore, economic depressions lead to suffering and death. This is a fact that's widely known and studied. Ignoring all the coming secondary effects to focus on only acute deaths from a single cause is clearly not scientific either.

Science is based on observations, an observation isn't science. That article was taking one data point, assuming the same thing was happening everywhere, and decided there was only one possible cause.

Then it's not pseudoscience either. Why so much resistance to an observation if you accept it is as such?

Taking one observation and assuming it applies everywhere with one possible cause is pseudoscience. If the article just said "we've seen a lot of suicides, here's how to get help" I would have no problems with it.
