Rob Delaney (of Deadpool 2 and "funniest person on Twitter" fame) has written great stuff on overcoming suicidal depression with support and medication.[1][2][3] It affects the best people.

Not a sufferer myself but I really enjoyed the book Rob Delaney: Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.[1] Very funny but also touches on his severe, near-fatal depression and alcoholism in an enlightened manner. Talks about medication, how he talked himself into getting help, the unfathomable experience of clinical depression itself, lots of the things Holman mentions. Now he's the "funniest guy on Twitter" and has a brilliant show on the BBC / Amazon (Catastrophe).
