Sure we should. Why, precisely, should we NOT? I keep hearing this idea of "it's bad to use the word suicidal except in these very specific cases," and no one's REALLY come up with a genuinely compelling reason not to. Fitting what a book says is not compelling; potentially saving lives is. Not calling someone "suicidal" when they are or merely might be strikes me as infinity worse than calling them suicidal when they're not.
