Hello docs, is feeling suicidal a form of mental illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With a careful: History we can pin down a name to it, even if it is just an adjustment disorder to difficult life circumstances. If you or a friend are actively suicidal now, call 911 or go to the nearest er, or call the national suicide lifeline at: 1-800-273-talk (8255). Best wishes.
