Thomas Joiner identified a sense of burdensomeness and a sense of isolation as the two interpersonal risk factors that give rise to a desire to die. It seems that psychiatric practices might intervene against someone’s ability to *act* on that desire but reinforce, rather than diminish, the desire itself.
I was treated for an eating disorder over a decade ago and it was much the same—coercive and shaming.
