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.
We know what we are talking about but what they hear may be a different story. If you are not threatening to harm yourself, or anyone else, and don't have a plan, and state you are not suicidal you should be clear. But what the T tells the magistrate is another thing. Just better not to mention that word I guess. I hate that people can't have open , honest discussion about a topic like this. Maybe if they had someone to talk to about it the stats would go down, maybe.
