I’ve never really thought that not being of unsound mind should qualify as a restriction.
One of the most common reasons cited for suicide is overwhelming, unbearable, untreatable pain. Whether that physical or emotional, it’s going to be enough to make you of unsound mind. I can’t see why being so overburdened with pain that you can’t think straight means you should be prevented from taking your own life.
