Read the rest of the page. These are diseases the author deems "notorious". Taking grief and hanged themselves together that makes around 500 out of 229250 deaths. Which is very low. Globally around 1% of deaths are suicides, which is more than 4 times higher.

It was even lower going further back.

People had harder lives in so many ways, but they did not commit suicide so were in some way mentally healthier.
