Having said that, he was surely in depression because of the Industry's bias towards him, not getting his due or acknowledgement despite doing some great body of work, Industry people looking down upon him, Purposely spreading fake blinds against him at every point of time, false accusations about him being a womanizer/cheater/Sexually assaulting his costar, his genuine charitable acts going purposely unnoticed. The entire ill-treatment from the industry triggered his depression, also Rhea wasn't being that supportive to him during his lowest time. She leaving him all alone despite she knowing he was depressed speaks a lot about her nature, also some people was claiming he had issues with his family over Rhea. Plus the suicide of his ex-manager few days ago must have triggered him further. And i get it were he's actually coming from. Even though he would come out and claim in front of people about him being innocent and all the blinds/allegations against him being fake, people would never trust him. They would still call him a liar or an attention seeker. All this did play a major role in him ending his life.
I would definitely agree with you, people have taken his suicide and sensationalized it in order to further their own agendas. However, I’m not so sure that we can definitively say this triggered his depression or that did. I personally went through what’s clinically known as a “major depressive episode” during a time when I was literally getting everything I wanted in life and had full social support, etc. I later went through psychotherapy and realized that my internal dialogue was the problem. All that to say, we can hypothesize that blinds, etc. were stressors or triggers in Sushant’s life, but we shouldn’t assume anything. After all, he’s been dealing with media since years, throughout his career in TV and then films.
Also, from my personal experience I know how I was both consciously and unconsciously distancing myself from my friends and family. I purposely avoided my closest friend on her birthday, because I wanted to be alone and that would make her stop trying. So for all we know, Rhea tried and Sushant didn’t allow her to help. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want it.
“Suicide chains” are an actual thing, where people in a social circle or community commit suicide one after the other. So this potentially could be a reason why he did this so soon after his manager. Also, the lockdown probably played a huge part in all of this, because it’s triggered an uptick in antidepressant prescriptions being filled in multiple countries.
