That take isn't unintuitive, but I think it discounts the degree to which suicidal thoughts are the product of mental illness. It's not that a suicidal person needs a reason to live, or a logical argument to change their mind. In most cases (some estimates say 90%) the individual needs treatment for a specific mental illness.
