A member asked:
Can a gp tell your parents if you're suicidal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you are a minor: I would hope that the general practice physician would. Because if you are suicidal then you need urgent treatment. Witholding a history of being suicidal is not like not telling your parents that you smoke cigarettes. This can be life or death.
