Question: does reducing suicidal ideation reduce suicide? I mean, it sounds like it obviously should, but we've been wrong about this before. Many heart medications to reduce cholesterol worked great at reducing cholesterol without reducing heart disease!
All that said, reducing suicidal ideation is a worthy goal itself, even if it doesn't reduce suicide. I'm a full supporter of seeing this treatment move more mainstream.
