    I don’t know how many animals are capable of suicide, but people in the middle ages definitely did it sometimes. The ways requiring the least setup are probably jumping from a high place, like a really tall tree or off a cliff. Then with the benefits of civilization, you can jump out a high window or stab yourself with a knife or other sharp object or use some rope creatively, all entirely possible in the middle ages.

    If we assume that depression has always been around, the “jump off a cliff” method was probably used by the occasional caveman tbh.
