As someone who tried it. I did talk to others but it got worse because less cared than i even thought. So i started to speak less and less about it. All i can tell you that the BIGGEST warning sign is. If someone you know is depressed, is suddenly happy. Take action. Immediatly.
Thank you. I have used the these approaches with thousands of high risk patients which have been 100% effective at preventing completed suicide. The system fails when those who are not in contact with services and who have no mental health issues are not helped. Prevention could focus on isolated older people usually male with chronic medical issues and or pain who are “surplus” with unemployment, divorce or widowed I rarely prescribe symptomatic treatment with medication which imo can increase the risk of completed suicide by providing a means. I rarely admit to a mental health hospital because the admission greatly increases the risk of completed suicide. There is always hope and it is a privilege as a health professional to have the opportunity to help others who suffer.
True. Professionals rely way too heavily on self-reporting. The big question is “do you have a plan” and depending on the answer, you go forward from there. Do you really think a patient is going to be forthcoming 100% of the time? And let’s say a patient has ideation, the mere question might cause them to start considering one.
I watched a video of Healthy Gamer he says also that many patients have no depression, just nothing to live for anymore. I have both unfortunately, depression and no perspective.
Hello professor! Have you spoken anywhere on the splitting of borderline & schizotypal? Do you think it was the right decision? It seems to me that schizotypal is a less socially adjusted bpd, I think this fits quite well with your model on personality disorders as I can easily see a borderline who is going through a period of social withdrawal and cycling through self states meeting the the criteria of schizotypal
Q. If suicidal ideation is not a significant risk factor, is a threat of suicide? E.g. If you don’t… or if you… then I will kill myself. I’d be interested to hear more about risk factors. You mentioned BPD, young, elderly, unemployed, migrants. Are there other mental and physical conditions that have high rates of co-morbidity? What are some ways that A and B1 to B4 can present?

Thank you professor.. Being a student of psychology your lectures and lessons give lot of insight.. 🙏🏻😊
No one can tell if someone will complete suicide but we can acknowledge distress, appreciate and encourage our loved ones to seek help

Sadly, we can't escape our own minds.
We can 👌
Smile more and thinking about u smiling helps alot. Sadly bad behaviors are harder to unlearn :)

Every threat of suicide should be dealt with as if it were attempted suicide.
If they talk about it they are on the way and getting "ready". I'd say it gets risky once they don't talk about it
