You summed it up perfectly. The thing people don't seem to get is that wanting to end your life, and intending to commit mass murder are two unrelated things. There have been many airline pilots over the years who have taken their lives, those who choose to do it in an aircraft have gone and hired an aeroclub Cessna, not taken down an A320 full of pax.
The more airlines (and regulators) that treat mental health issues as an "instant grounding", the more pilots will choose to suffer in silence and the more unsafe the overall outcomes will be.
