My gut feeling is the causal flow goes “manic depression → suicide, alternate universes” rather than “alternate universes → manic depression → suicide”.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be that sure. On this very site I’ve seen people say their reason for signing up for cryonics was their belief in MWI.
It would not surprise me if “suicide → hell” decreases the overall number of suicides and “suicide → anthropic principle leaves you in other universes” increases the overall number of suicides.
Cryonics is reasonable—Due to reading and understanding the quantum physics sequence, I ended up contacting Rudi Hoffman for a life insurance quote to fund cryonics. It’s only a few hundred dollars a year for me. It’s well within my budget for caring about myself and others… such as my future selves in forward branching multi-verses.

Really? What’s the reasoning there (if you remember)?
The post is here. The reasoning as written is:
