I have a general question to ask the experts regarding suicide. This question in no way suggests that I. Or anyone else is in mortal danger. I am in fact no way suicidal.
Is a person that commits suicide "mentally unstable" or is there a logical reason for this action-in accepting the lessor of evils? (The captain of the Titanic comes to mind).

Re: Suicide question
As the mom of a kid with borderline personality disorder I've learned that virtually none of the information readily out there is accurate about suicide.
Suicidal thoughts and actions are the same kind of physiological reaction to a bodies functioning as a heart attack is to blood vessels blocking oxygen to tissue.
The idea of mental stability is a really, really, really, subjective concept. Using it as a reference prevents an accurate description of suicide from being described.
There really, really, really, needs to be better information out there from the medical community. Until the public understands suicide as a medical condition, we won't be able to reduce the risk level for completion.
