A member asked:
Is impulsive behavior the first sign of future suicidal or homicidal behavior?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The first signs of suicidal or homicidal behavior tend to be either depression or a general lack of concern for the well-being of others. While someone that impulsive may make a decision the harm themselves or others, we are more interested in suicidal or homicidal thoughts as a precursor to such behavior.
