MYTH: People who are suicidal are "crazy" or "insane." FACT: Severe emotional distress is not the same as mental illness, " craziness", or "insanity". Behavior that may look psychotic may be temporary and a result of extreme unhappiness or emotional upset. Many suicidal people are experiencing an episode of major depression. However, most deaths by suicide do occur in the context of a documentable episode of a major psychiatric or addiction disorder.
