Though never knowing exactly it was a law, I have frequently observed a flight attendant entering cockpit when pilot left to use the bathroom. I just assumed they were in there incase the one left in cockpit had a heart attack or passed out. The thought of a suicide attempt prevention never entered my mind.

I really do not think that if a pilot or copilot wanted to commit suicide that a flight attendant will stop them... when the pilot leaves, just knock out the attendant and crash the plane...
I agree it does help in case of health issues, but from what they say the pilot has the ability to do a code to get back in after awhile... the person on the other side can override that code, but if it is medical they probably would not have hit that switch....
