Do You Have To Be Mentally Ill To Commit Suicide?!


Question:

Do You Have To Be Mentally Ill To Commit Suicide?

Is it possible that some people check out simply because they are tired of living? Is being tired of living a sign of mental illness, even without depression?
How do you explain the suicides of rational thinking people? Those people who actually put time and effort into planning their demise.


Answers:

In spite of the common thinking of the psychiatric community, I think it is possible to make a rational decision to commit suicide. Someone whose brain is particularly wired with a very logical way of thinking could approach life from a thought-out perspective, and make a decision based on pro- and con- decision-making. That would be rare, though...

Most people consider suicide due to overwhelming emotional or physical pain, and it is usually related to a mental condition, if not an "illness."
