The thing with Robin is that, regardless of his mental health, he would've been the type of person to curse the choice of bringing someone back to be wasted on him.

While it is commonly believed he took his life due to a constant battle with depression, we do not know exactly what his resolve was, and bringing him back could be seen as hell in his eyes.

It wasn't depression. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia.

He allegedly took his life so he wouldn't slowly lose himself, and become a burden on his family.

Parkinson's, actually. They corrected it to LBD during his autopsy.

Apparently him and his wife weren't satisfied with the Parkinson's diagnosis as he had some abnormal psychological issues, so they decided to have some neurology tests scheduled. He unfortunately took his life before the appointment, so he never knew the real diagnosis.
