I'm looking for books that were written by authors who found something so profoundly pervasive and horrifying in society, that they became depressed and killed themselves. I already know of Guy Debord and Mark Fisher. Any other authors along these lines? They don't have to be focused on Capitalism.

Weininger. He has become something of a meme because he had polesque views, but he fits your question

Julius Bahnsen, who you probably won't find anything of but you can find bits and pieces of his thought, and Mitchell Heisman, who wrote a suicide note you can find online.
