Maltzburger: Suicidality is not an illness. It's actually a symptom, ok? And so what do i mean by that? So for example, one reason is psychopathology. Some of them have to do with, like, you know, self worth,. H, which is that like, an organic brain disease. I'm not really sure. Sometimes suicide has to do with ... not having a way out; it serves as an escape.
