(Forgive me if I sound like I'm anti-CBT I promise that isn't where I'm coming from, read to the end and you'll see where i'm going) Ideally suicidal idealization at the massive scale it's on wouldn't be a problem because we would all live in societies where the well-being of human beings are put above the profit margins of faceless corporations and the cannibalistic slave-masters who run them. People would have a right to live comfortable lives with rights to good paying jobs with significant workers rights, as well as plenty of off-time to spend with family, friends, and hobbies as well as a not insignificant amount of money to spend on such activities. Those who do slip through the cracks and do develop mental illness due to hardship on the personal level would be in luck because society and the medical industry would no longer demonize mental illness. Medical care, both mental and physical, would be free to all people without sacrificing quality (let's face it fellow Americans, it's not like our paid-for healthcare is very quality to begin with). Kind and caring therapists (which also work under the free healthcare) are plentiful and systems are put in place to help match therapist to patient on the individual level. And those rare folks who nothing seems to work for, are allowed to end their lives peacefully. Ideally done free of charge in a calm and comfortable medical setting supervised by only people who properly understand the kinds of people who turn to this final ultimatum. They are administered enough painkillers (like the kind they give you for surgery to knock you out) to allow them to peacefully drift off. Sorry I went on the diatribe at the beginning, I'm just convinced that there would be far less suicidal people in the world if our systems and societies were more caring.
