I know this academy.

I grew up living around it as my relative was a worker for the facility and constantly had to pander to these primadonnas on orders of the administration.

The school is a rich kids prep school populated by whiny rich brats.

They routinely destroyed the rooms, buildings, and facilities while rampantly doing drugs, and all without any serious adressal by the administration.

I fail to see how the doctor is liable. The blame lays squarely on poor absentee parenting that relies on a school more interested in pandering to NH's elite than in counseling or monitoring thier facility.

Kids commit suicide. It happens. And more often than not, it's because thier parents are lax and care more about thier jaguars than the mental state of their offspring.
