Huh? Doctors Supposed to Monitor Depressed Patients for Suicide

I get so confused.  We are told that suicide is a right, even for the mentally ill.  Then, we hear that doctors should monitor their depressed patients for suicidal ideation.  From the Medical News Today story:

After receiving a small number of complaints that criticized GPs for failing to appreciate that a patient represented a suicide risk, GPs are being advised to ensure they regularly assess patients with depression for risk of suicide.

Unless they have cancer?  Like I said, I get so confused.
