Lots of occupations out there with higher suicidal rates--cops, dentists, farm workers, factory workers, etc. But that doesn't mean they are mentally ill. There are circumstances in some lives where suicide is a perfectly logical choice.

There are circumstances in some lives where suicide is a perfectly logical choice. So you think suicide is never a symptom of mental illness? You think suicide can be perfectly logical, side from chronic, untreatable pain or diagnosis of degenerative/terminal illness? Maybe you could give some examples?

Are you making excuses for pedophiles? If they're just mentally ill, they're not to blame and we shouldn't stigmatize that, right? Quote:So you think suicide is never a symptom of mental illness? Is that what I said? Go back and read what I said. I have no intention of repeating my statements because you misconstrue them.

Then it follows that some, or maybe even all, among mental health professionals could be due to mental illness. But that's ignoring the higher prevalence of neurosis and depression, with are mental illnesses themselves. Quote:Then it follows that some, or maybe even all, among mental health professionals could be due to mental illness. No..being suicidal does not necessarily entail mental illness. But it does often entail depression which could be circumstantial or a disorder.
