There's no algorithm. We're learning things about the brain that, essentially, society isn't ready for. What should give one pause is the experience of many people who were suicidal at one point, who later can hardly believe / articulate what they were thinking. I.e. it seemed to make perfect crystal-clear sense at the time, but now the reasoning sounds absolutely stupid. I believe there's a parallel to over-constrained problems in engineering. One common pattern of depression and suicidal thinking is the feeling that there are no other options. People become trapped in seemingly unsatisfiable constraints, and the only option that appears to remain is to cease to live. Remove one or two of those apparent constraints, and all of a sudden the problem becomes satisfiable, and life can continue.
