re being asked if suicidal

Does anyone else get tired of this when its the only question about how you are coping? I do understand why its an important question, of course.
But its when its the only question and then the doctor visibly relaxes and doesnt bother asking any more that it makes me feel as if their perspective is it doesnt matter how grim life is, as long as I'm not suicidal. They wouldnt do that if it was someone with arthritis or cancer or something, would they? They should care about how it is for us living as well.
(end of rant, made me feel better writing it down!)
