So what will they do after they detect you are suicidal? Stick you in a psych ward? Yet more attempts at taking away the rights of those going through trauma.

- fao_ 9y agoThat seems like putting the cart before the horse. Diagnosis tools could mean faster access to treatment. Currently in the UK the waiting list for access to mental health treatment is on the range of two to three years. Transforming "suicidal ideation" from a "vague human-given diagnosis" to "tool-given diagnosis" makes it politically easier to push for that. In any case, that's not going to happen based off a single study with 91% accuracy.
