Nagatobimaru:
He suffered a concussion when he was 14yo, never healing fully from the damage.
Bear in mind that first there was an injury. Most mankind has advanced their understanding of brain injuries or imbalances. For instance depression is diagnosed as an extended period of sadness.
For those struggling to grasp how this works consider a skiing athlete who breaks their leg. You know for the bone injury the person needs outside help. Needs to rest. Needs support in the form of a cast and later a crutch. Eventually, if they do the right things and keep on their medication the leg can heal and they can run, skip and even ski again. The brain is also biological with many more components than a leg. Depression can come from injury or suppression of the hormones and chemistry that give the brain strength.
On going depression can lead to suicide. Rather than a selfish act it can be connected to thoughts of not wanting others to suffer or just wanting the pain to end. Imagine having a broken leg that never got treated and the world demanding you run on it everyday.
When viewed in this you can make a comparison to Wyatt's story to also read: A youth suffered a potentially fatal injury at 14 yet even though it never fully healed kept an active life going on 3 more years.
