I think so because a lot of clinicians associate chronic suicidal ideation with personality disorder. This isn't always true, since there are many reasons why someone could feel that way, such as an adverse reaction to psychiatric medication, psychosis, agitation, and coping with extreme emotional pain.

A therapist may see chronic suicidal ideation that doesn't improve with treatment as a personal failure. It is so much easier to refuse those clients than reflect and learn where they went wrong.
