When should you go to the er for suicidal thoughts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If u feel unsafe: If you feel you cannot keep yourself safe/ are afraid you may do something to yourself. This is called imminent risk of harm. Also if you have been thinking about the harm to yourself in a specific way or with a plan in such a way that these thoughts are more than just in passing and indeed are repeated several times a day to the point you feel you cannot shake them.
