What happens when the doctor ask you, if you want to hurt yourself?

[hadenough1234]

Has anyone told your doctor that you have thought of hurting yourself?

Yeah it's just for measuring current suicidal ideation, if you say yes they follow up with asking if you are in the process of planning it or if you have already made a plan

They'll perform a risk assessment and have you evaluated by a therapist. They'll ask if you have plans, a method and when you plan to do it. If you have all of that they'll usually commit you.

No but I've told a therapist, they always ask if you have a plan. I never say yes because then that's when they hospitalize you. I'm assuming this is the same with doctors.

I said at 5% success rate, whats the point of thinking about it? I have never been in the top 5% anywhere. The doctor laughed.
