Suicide is never a stand alone. Isn't that what you're saying, afterall? Therefore, researching and discussing suicide would include discussions and evaluations of some social, mental, and emotional correlates.

This doesn't mean that everyone agrees that all suicides are a result of mental and emotional disorders. I obviously do not.

Surely you didn't get this from my post. If you did, it is because of your assumptions of my tone and meaning.

Never make assumptions because you don't know whether the person you disagree with has already been personally impacted. But, at the same time, you don't have to be personally impacted by everything to know about it.

I am careful not to conclude "all" regarding anything since you can never be too sure and no, I didn't get that from your post. Just speaking generally and actually had another post in mind.

Be careful not to speak generally and have another post in mind when you're responding to my post.

I was responding to the assertion that ALL people who consider, attempt, and commit suicide are doing so because of mental and/or emotional disorders because suicide is a disease.
