What can doctors and therapist do if you told them you were suicidal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Make plan to help U: The main goal would be to develop a plan to help you. The seriousness of the suicidal thoughts would have to be determined. There would be a plan for psychotherapy with or without medication. Most important would be to protect you from any self destructive thoughts. It might be necessary to have you in the hospital for a while or the treatment could be started with regular outpatient therapy.
