Dispite the fact that it does raise cortisol there have been many studies that suggest that caffeine can actually prevent suicide.
from:
http://www.drlowe.com/QandA/askdrlowe/caffeine.htm
"Tolerance to the performance-enhancing effects of caffeine doesn't appear to develop. Caffeine has also been found to improve mood and relieve depression. Even small amounts induce users to feel more "clearheaded," happier, calmer, and less tense. In addition, caffeine consumption is correlated with a lower suicide rate. "
