More flying ass monkeys from people who don't even slightly understand the most significant behavior they claim to study. They don't even seem to mean it- they argue that calling suicide a disease will spur research whether it really is or not.
Knowing someone's long-term suicide risk may have important implications for how a doctor chooses to treat that person, says Jan Fawcett of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. For instance, a doctor may decide not to prescribe certain antidepressants to a patient with these biomarkers, as many drugs are thought to increase suicide risk.You don't know what causes suicide and you don't know what your drugs do.
So how exactly do you decide now? Trial and error? You realize you were wrong when your patient is dead? Clever, that.
