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.
Thank you for your reference. I’m not clear whether this is intended to support or reject this point or just provide additional data.

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