If you're to successfully elicit emotion via a story, then unfortunately, you're going to wind up 'triggering' a few people one way or another. There are people in this world who get 'triggered' by the mere mention of suicide, or a novel not catering to their entitlement and 'representing' them (because obviously, every story is required to be a reader-insert escapist novel).

Ranting aside, don't worry about triggering people. However, you needn't repeat too much that a man is suicidally depressed about the destruction of society as a whole. All you'd need is a few remarks here and there, maybe something like 'this isn't life, this is merely existing' or 'why wake up when all that awaits you is a nightmare you can't wake up from?', et cetera, et cetera.
