Suicidal thoughts are troubling, especially when accompanied by depression, other mental illnesses, alcohol or substance abuse, or plans for suicide. This situation demands immediate evaluation. These thoughts may indicate the presence of a serious psychological disorder.Socio-economic factors such as unemployment, poverty, homelessness, and discrimination may trigger suicidal thoughts.

The knee-jerk linkage of "mental health" and "suicide" needs to be challenged. There is a vague parallel with road traffic deaths/injuries in relation to the ongoing debate between "speed" and "alcohol/drugs" as major causative factors. Ian Marsh ("Suicide: Foucault, History and Truth", 2010) has written recently about the history of suicide and how society has variously regarded these deaths. The scientific study of suicidal behaviour - suicidology - must be relocated so that the predominant influence of psychiatry and psychopharmacology is relaxed so as to facilitate a much broader examination of the suicide phenomenon in the contexts of, for example and inter alia, sociology, history, culture and anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and so on.
The medicalisation of human behaviours, driven by the pharma-industries, especially in the US, must be critically examined in view of the ongoing escalation (via value-free WHO statistics) of the incidence worldwide of fatal suicidal behaviours in spite of the often valiant, and no doubt sincere efforts of psychiatry. Martin Luther King believed that there was nothing more dangerous for humanity than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. Please consider changing the title of this string to detach 'mental health' and 'suicide'.

A significant proportion of young people who complete suicide have recently started or are withdrawing from SSRIs (antidepressants). Their suicides are as a result of drug-induced psychosis rather than any decision to end their lives. Research evidence across 100 countries shows that a mental health approach to suicide prevention actually increases rather than decreases suicide as a result of the use of psychotropic drugs clinically proven to double the risk of suicide in youth.

I have been reading a variety of forum's debating suicide as a choice. The debate is of course those with mental illness having a right to complete suicide. I would like to read the thoughts of other professionals that work as crisis counselors how they deal with this topic.
