I think that Avoid Committing Suicide should be considered a health topic. Suicide is a mental illness. That is considered health. The Q&A is still open (and lots of the questions are not about suicide…one was about pee?). Yes, this is an important topic, but maybe maintaining it as medical could be helpful? Tell me your thoughts!

Suicide is a health topic, I agree. But suicide itself is not a mental disorder. People may have diseases or illnesses that can cause them to make poor decisions, such as committing suicide. So, yes, it should be a health topic, because it has many things to do with health.

Yep. And suicide is NEVER THE ANSWER.

I think I see why this didn’t get its Q&A hidden - the articles with removed Q&As are all in the Health category and its subcategories. The Suicide category is in Family Life, under the Death subcategory (with the exception of Coping with Suicide, which is in the Health category as well). It’s probably just an oversight due to where the category is located, so I’ll ping @JayneG to get it fixed.
