The Divine Code says (p 417, topic 21):
"It is clear that if the person has become mentally ill and is endangering his own life, he is not considered as one who is liable for committing suicide, and it is an obligation to save his life, like that of any other sick person.)"
I will argue that a person who thinks about committing suicide has mental problems to begin with. How can anyone be liable for suicide given the aforesaid ruling?
