What is the relationship between relapse and suicidal ideation?

Scientific literature shows strong associations between suicidal ideation and depression. While depression predicts suicidal ideation, it does not predict suicidal behavior, and most people with depression do not engage in suicidal behavior. Furthermore, treatments specifically targeting depression do not necessarily reduce suicidal ideation and behavior. Treating depression may alleviate suicidal impulses or improve coping with the source of distress.
I believe that the feeling of uselessness, of not being able to defend yourself in life, not managing everyday problems well, not having a supportive and helpful environment, or not following the advice of medical and social professionals can trigger suicidal thoughts.
