But it seems you've determined this from the percentage of people that commit suicide and have mental disorders, correct? But people with mental disorders can act rationally and people that don't have a history of mental disorders can have a break down and commit suicide. How do we really tell whether it was a choice or not in each case?
All we can really say is you're more likely to commit suicide if you have a mental disorder. But what about when having a mental disorder is a miserable existence and alienates you from people and you end it to end the suffering (that you haven't elsewise been able to make stop)?
