That's the thing though Trace14, most of us who feel this way, the only time the word "suicide" is used is for clarification purposes. As in "But I am in no way suicidal - I simply, would rather be dead than alive." So they should not need to be mandated about anything. We are not threatening to harm anyone. We are not telling them about an illegal activity. Those are the mandates unless a legal authority calls demanding records ... that's an exception to standard mandates. So basically - it is just a general assumption that in fact "I would rather be dead" means "I plan to kill myself" .. and you spend 90% of the appointment time defending that it DOES NOT mean that. It is quite aggravating.
