Thinking and/or acting on self harm or suicide sure sounds like a change in thinking, emotion, or behavior to me.

Well we're back to we were with KingCrabBattle: you think you can decide what a mental illness is or isn't, despite the fact that you have a source agreed upon by professionals (the DSM-5) and that source does not list suicidal thoughts/ideation as a mental illness.

But again, we're going on this semantic journey so both of you can ignore the other question, which is: so what? What if I did want to buy a firearm? How do you or anyone else plan to stop every person who has ever had suicidal thoughts in their lives from obtaining a firearm?


Suicidal thoughts are not considered to be a specific mental illness in DSM-V but rather a symptom of other underlying mental illness. There was a push back in 2007-2008 to include suicidal thoughts into DSM-V but it seems to have failed.
