Legitimate thoughts of suicide need to be professionally assessed and treated. Period. End of story.
Anything other than that is just two people playing the same game, feeding the same beast.
I do agree, she needs to take a different approach, but I would not recommend inpatient or out patient care. Do you have any idea what that entails and how at times that makes a person's situation worse, and at best, only provides temporary relief from the root cause of the actual issue? There are tons of alternatives and that should only be used as a last resort.

Trust me, I know a little bit more about this than you do.
