Why do so many activists commit suicide?

Thank you for your piece..
I think activists take their own lives because their task is so daunting, so immense. Their constant struggle, to fight for the oppressed, to alleviate the hurting..
I think it just becomes too much, being witness to the pain and suffering of others, whilst deep inside, their own pain becomes greater and greater to the point of no return..
They don’t want to die..they want the pain to stop..
