I referred to the first sentence of your comment. My point was given the statistics “suicidal” could just as well be a shorthand for “severe mental disorder”. Such mental disorders are usually chronic.
Actually the paper supports the other direction too, just not as strongly. I don’t think the original comment was meant to be taken literally. If it was, it was especially angsty.

OK. But suicide ⇒ mental disorder doesn’t equal mental disorder ⇒ suicide. So this doesn’t support nor deny the original claim.
