I wasn't disagreeing with the point that not everyone who commits suicide is mentally ill. I was disagreeing with your point that all sufferers of mental illness are in a state of psychosis.
I also disagree with how you're interchanging "history of mental ill health" with "mental illness" because it's not always something one is born with.
Lastly I don't think those twitter links are the best examples of your point because they are ostensibly saying "It's not a forgone conclusion; more research is needed." Which I absolutely do agree with.
However, to get back to point, I do agree that not everyone who has suicidal thoughts, or who is suicidal, is mentally ill. I was being rather terse in my earlier post and in doing so had obviously mislead. So apologies for that.
