Specializes in Psychiatry

See doctor ASAP!: If depressed and suicidal you clearly need medical attention. See your physician asap. If considering suicide you can go to an er or call 911. You will be evaluated so that helpful treatment can be provided. An in-person (not online) evaluation is mandatory. Best wishes.
