I think I have never had suicidal thoughts but do have felt very bad in general in a way that may be close to suicide,but the ide of suicide never came to mind because I allways cling to that faint feeling of hope that is "everything will be fine",not sure if that do works

it lowers productivity, hence hurts corporate profit margins. otherwise I cannot see what problem our heartless society would have against it.

Depressed suicidal individuals are usually not very productive.

No, but the hierarchy thinks they can be. The hierarchy doesn't immediately discard, it tries "corrective" steps to salvage a drone when possible-- the hierarchy already invested in building the drone so suicide is a complete waste of the hierarchy's resources. Let's say you had a car that got in a wreck and it's cheaper to fix than replace-- you wouldn't want someone driving that car over a cliff regardless of it's current functioning. That in essence is what psychiatry is-- it's not about helping the individual, it's about leading a "productive life."
