Concerning your question about psychological disorders and their correlation with suicide, I'm wondering if you realize your question pretty much answers itself.
If psychological disorders are related to suicide, why wouldn't you include them in any conversation about suicide? Of course you would. If they have a correlation with suicide, you could not possibly have a full understanding of suicide without including them in the conversation. You would include psychological disorders in a conversation about suicide, because you have to if you want to understand suicide.
In terms of drawing conclusions from this, one could conclude that since psychological disorders have a correlation with the brain, that therefore suicide must also have a correlation with the brain. This would form a syllogism:
- Psychological disorders are correlated with suicide.
- Psychological disorders, also, are correlated with the brain.
- Therefore, suicide is correlated with the brain.
This establishes that a physical correlation exists between suicide and the brain. This, of course, is well-accepted today.
