A week??? You can't be serious.

You have to explain why you object or I can't respond properly.

But I think you're saying a week isn't enough to determine things for sure? If so, you need to read what I said more closely.

I said a week is a basic filter, that can figure out an urge is temporary most of the time. It won't tell you an urge is not-temporary. It either says "temporary" or "unsure".

OK that wasn't clear. But then it also doesn't seem useful for the goal to determine if somebody is permanently serious and should be left alone to their suicide. But I don't think I agree with that approach, anyway.

I think it's a good first step. It also gets them talking with a psychologist, ideally.
