Hmm
A few years ago I went through a period of awful insomnia - for about a month and a half I slept about 2 or 3 hours a night. Eventually I went to the doctor to see if I could be prescribed sleeping pills. This is the conversation I had:

Zapiola: Hello Doctor, I've been sleeping terribly. I keep on waking up.
Doctor: Hm... yes you do look rather run down. I'm going to prescribe you some *name of sleeping pill brand I've now forgotten*. Take one of these three nights a week an hour before you go to bed and you should drop off like a light.
Zapiola: Thanks Doctor. Will they affect my other medication?
Doctor: Other medication?
Zapiola: Yes... anti-depressants
*blank look from Doctor*
Zapiola: The ones you prescribed me a few weeks ago after the suicide attempt?
Doctor, ruffling through notes: Oh. Yes. No, they should be fine.
Zapiola, looking at prescription: Are these enough sleeping pills to commit suicide with?
Doctor: Oh yes.
Zapiola: Good to know.
Dcotor: You're not planning on committing suicide are you?
Zapiola: Hmmm... no. Not right now.
Doctor: Oh OK. Well come back in a few weeks if the sleeping problem persists.

Yeah but...
The price of the drugs were probably eating into his budget, especially if he was now to provide you 2 sets indefinitely.

He probably wanted a drain on resources like you off of his books

If you mention suicide to a doctor
they are obliged to refer you to a psychiatrist

They are
but given I was already seeing one, it was a moot point.
