Yes: If you are having these thoughts you need to get help. They will monitor you and have psychiatry evaluate the situation. Not sure how long they will keep you. It depends on the treatment plan. But go get help.

Depends, Please Go!: If you are having suicidal thoughts, one should be seen right away. Be evaluated by professionals and let the Psychiatrist , Social Workers and mental health providers help with the decisions on what is the best course of treatment. One should err on being seen immediately as opposed on waiting. Let a parent, friend,or medical provider know what's going on ASAP. Call a hotline if needed.Seek Help
