Suicidality is not an easy thing to categorize as being either biological or psychosocial. Things get real dangerous when there is a combination of the neurobiological suicidal state and psychosocial triggers producing negative thinking.
It is very important to try to minimize anxiety and anger. Both of these can bring one closer to suicide. You really need to recognize these emotions and avoid anything that causes you to become impulsive.
People can become suicidal for no reason (biogenic).
People can become suicidal over real issues (psychogenic).
To remain alive when the two types of suicide are combined is an extraordinary feat.
To be able to choose life over death despite living in a suicidal state is an achievement. You do this very bravely. This is true of a great many people who post on Psycho-Babble.
