Is Trigeminal Neuralgia life-threatening?

Doctor's Answer

It is not a life-threatening disease. There are a few cases where it drives patients to suicide but that is quite rare. Normally we give them treatment before that, and the treatment is effective now, so no one should really commit suicide because of Trigeminal Neuralgia. So in summary: It is not life-threatening, but it is really disabling as a disease.
