Hi docs, can you tell me if suicidal thoughts are an indication of the extent of depression or are they simply dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be: Suicidal thoughts arise very often during the pessimism ; hopelessness of depression, although sometimes these thoughts occur even when not depressed. (it crosses everyone's mind occasionally.) such thoughts present the danger that the person will act on them — more likely when depressed, confused, or on alcohol/drugs. For frequent or strong thoughts of suicide talk to a therapist or call 911.
