The Borna Virus can induce suicidal tendencies in man and beast, so consider taking LYSINE, an antiviral amino acid available at health food stores and in health food sections at groceries. Do not presume a "psychological" basis. Complement with a good multi-vitamin and mineral which does NOT contain "Nickel" or "Tin" as these are toxic.
Do a mental cleansing that can aggravate such physical tendencies using http://www.fhu.com the Foundation of Human Understanding's awareness meditation, and/or the http://www.emofree.com/ EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique. The first removes hidden resentments that can block healing, and the second removes the latent chemical signatures from past traumas that lowers one's ability to adapt without overreacting. God bless and "in all things give thanks" as much good for self and others can come from one's patient journey through trials.
