Does having a suicidal thoughts and attempts to do it, are these considered having a depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually yes: A person who has suicidal ideations (thoughts or plans), gestures, or attempts needs evaluation and treatment right away. The recommended way to get treatment is to visit an Emergency Room, by ambulance or by having a companion drive. In the US, the emergency phone number for an ambulance is 911. One can also find suicide prevention hotline numbers online, for her local area.
