A member asked:

What can i do to rid myself of depression and suicidal thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Discuss what trigger your suicidal thoughts. Consider meds if there's a need. Find a psychotherapist where you can create a crisis plan for when symptoms return. The national suicide prevention lifeline 1-800-273-talk (8255): you can also call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if feelings of suicidality are hard to control.
