In: Biology
The smarter animals have been known to experience self doubt, depression, and ptsd. (Dog or higher), but I haven’t known them to have suicidal thoughts.
This may be due to them not having the mental capacity to ask complex questions or think long term, especially not after they’re dead. We once asked a gorilla where they go when they die, and her response was “comfortable hole” referring to burial.
