Why did Faye's dad kill himself?
Is it cold in here?:
My reaction would be utterly different if he'd had any history of depression. Someone would have noticed. It's not a subtle thing when someone spends hours staring at the ceiling when the electricity is a few days from being cut off because even though there's plenty of money to pay the bills they've been piling up unopened because the person can't cope with opening them. Nor when lying on the ancient pile of dirty laundry makes more sense than washing it and the smell doesn't matter because the person hasn't had the get-up-and-go to even take a shower for days.
Loki:
There are varying degrees of depression. It can be relatively easy to appear normal when you are around other people (and it may even lift your spirits a bit), but that doesn't mean that when you are alone, sitting in front of your computer at one o'clock in the morning, because you just cannot bring yourself to stand up and walk a few steps to your bed; that then thoughts don't start creeping up about how worthless you are and how much you suck because you cannot even stand up and because you won't seek help either and the others won't understand anyway and even if they did they would only pretend to care because they don't really like you and you are painfully aware of the fact that most people care about 150 other people at most anyway and why should anyone care about YOU.

"Someone would have noticed". Right... cos it always manifests itself that blatantly. And people always notice signs. Trust me, someone with depression can hide in plain sight, people often ignore what they don't want or expect to see.

Tthree times, when Faye was miserable: when he hugged her outside CoD, but lost the chance to do it again! During the Talk (thanks ThomasEll), and shortly before the breakup.

Don't forget my favorite strip, which is even somewhat relevant!

I've just realised that in panel 2b, Faye has actual tears in her eyes. I knew she was distressed in that comic, but I'd never noticed that before. Is this the only time we've seen Faye cry (excluding flashbacks)?
