Please explain what happens if i tell my doctor i am suicidal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is likely that: Your physician will inquire further about your suicidal thoughts. You may be asked if you have a plan ; how strong your urge is to act on a plan. Often times your physician may wish to refer you for treatment by a psychologist or psychiatrist. If you are at imminent risk, it is likely that you will need immediate care such as through an emergency room. You can call the national suicide hotlines 24.
