Suicidal Ideation

What Is Suicidal Ideation?

Suicidal ideation refers to thoughts about ending one’s life, which can range from fleeting ideas to serious planning. While these thoughts may not always lead to action, they are serious warning signs that a person is in emotional or psychological distress.

​

Types of Suicidal Ideation

  1. Passive Suicidal Ideation

    • Thoughts like “I wish I wouldn’t wake up” or “Life isn’t worth living” without specific plans.

  2. Active Suicidal Ideation

    • Includes planning or thinking about how to carry out suicide.

Both types require immediate attention and support from a mental health professional.
