All suicidal people are in great pain or distress. In all likelihood most of them have tried various things for relief and failed. The natural settling place for criteria like this is that anyone who wants to kill themselves will have a much easier time doing it.

i can't say too much but i know someone i love very much who has a *horrible* quality of life, and i think maybe suicide would be better for them. this would absolutely devastate me, but I would rather endure the devastation so they can have relief
