What is a good way to fight off suicidal tendencies without medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Psychotherapy will help you find out what is triggering your tendencies. Having a "crisis card" or something similar with the hotline phone numbers, coping skills and plan of action -- what to do when impulses become hard to handle. If these impulses do become unbearable, dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
