A member asked:
If i have suicidal thoughts, should i call 911?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, . STAT.: Don't wait because suicidal thoughts won't just disappear by themselves, usually. Suicidal thoughts are a sign of severe psychological pain and a wish to escape. They also occur as a side effect of some antipsychotics and antidepressants (agitation). Either way, get checked soon, preferably by a psychiatrist.
