Many substances are known to suppress suicidal thoughts such as antidepressants, but aren't helpful in the long term if the underlying issues aren't resolved or coped without chemical reliance, as relapse and desensitization to antidepressant drugs is not uncommon. Many substances can help better explore the roots of suicidal thoughts through introspection, allowing them to be resolved or coped with in a positive manner.
