I think you've made a good point - when people in pain are, or feel, once again brushed off, by people who are supposed and paid to care .....it could well factor into increased suicidal feelings. (It did and sometimes still does for me ..)

In the UK, more doctors are realising the benefits of therapy though.....(not before time!)

I expect that I'd be fobbed off by the NHS GP if I even mentioned the weight gain which is extremely well documented on the particular meds I've been taking!
