People who are suicidal do not need jesus. They need to talk to someone they can trust about how they feel, seek help from a mental health professional, and look into medications. That's really the only advice anyone should be giving out regarding suicide, unless they have some kind of actual expertise.

There are scientific studies that correlate the positive effects of Religion, such as faith in Christ, which in fact "reduce risk of depression", "helps recovery",  and "reduces the risk of suicide". You should also look at the actual data which indicates that placebos are  as effective as the "medications" which are proscribed by these professionals you speak of.

I can provide a substantial amount of peer reviewed studies if need be.
