People with depression tend to be suicidal anyway, so it's not surprising if they commit suicide. I can't imagine anything more devastating than the suicide of a child. You'd blame yourself, you'd look for some rational explanation, and there is no rational explanation for suicide. It's not a rational act.

The theory is, or at least it was, that people suffering from unipolar depression don't have enough energy and motivation even to kill themselves. The antidepressants apparently bring them "up" just enough so they can accomplish it.

Well, yes. But there are those who will claim that these drugs cause people to commit suicide.

I've never quite understood their argument, but it seems to stem from an ideological opposition to the use of medication to handle mental issues. I don't know how many of them also deny the existence of ADHD, but their approach to the topic seems similar.
