Is suicide suicide?

Is suicide really suicide?

I mean sure, the person killed THEMSELVES. But to overcome the survival instinct; the natural optimism that keeps us alive; the hope of a better future to kill yourself is a very hard thing to do. Therefore, that person must have a lot of self loathing- mostly caused by other people.

In a case of general homicide not only the murderer is punished, anyone who helped it is punished too. That means that they are also accountable for the murder. So surely, in these cases of suicide caused by other people, doesn't that mean that they 'helped'? So like in the general homicide case, they should be accounted for the murder too? Does that mean that it’s not suicide (killing oneself), that rather the real murderers are the other people, who ultimately caused them to do it?
