This is a very unfortunate argument that to this day may still come up when you talk to lay people and professionals as well. Do you think this is simply a defence mechanism put up in order as not too have to deal with one's own difficulties addressing the issue? Is there any other reason that this is so deep routed that the statement for some has nearly proverbial character?
Dear Anthony,
thank you for your answer. I should have been a bit more precise in my question. It relates to talking about suicidality to individuals when exploring their mental health issues. Be it in a doctor to patient relationship or as a caregiver or family member. You still get the answer that some doctors, nurses and lay people do not feel comfortable to address this issue and the statement above is often given as a cause for this.
Best wishes,
