I would argue that we're noticing mental health problems because in most cases survival is not an issue in modern society. This is not to claim mental health problems didn't exist prior but there was an interesting podcast about suicide and how it affects people more from good backgrounds that don't have the level of success that their peers have.

I assumed you were wrong that wealthier people would be more at risk for committing suicide, because this sounds like an interesting but believable bit of folklore trivia, but this study suggests you are right.
