Despair is perhaps the number one reason for suicide, that is the "no other way out" perspective. The second is perhaps what can be described the "no end in sight" point of view. Life can take only so much pain. This threshold is different for every person. Combine that with the lesser experience of youth, the pressure to succeed, heightened media presence and biased coverage in lieu of responsible reporting, and the increasing gap in interpersonal relationships, and a perfect storm develops.

Truthfully, the rate of suicide hasn't increased as much as heightened reporting might make it appear. In recent years, the DOD reported that suicide rates among veterans is about 30 per 100,000. This is not a new statistic, and is slightly lower than what I tracked for III Corp in the 1980's. It is important to note that the veterans tracked are typically those DEROSed within one year, those in the age range of 20-26 predominantly.
