Suicidal ideation

According to Klonsky et al. (2016), it is difficult to predict suicidal behavior just as the comparison of findings and integration of knowledge across studies has been. Klonsky et al. (2016) further pointed out several factors associated with suicidal behavior such as depression, psychiatric disorders, and alcohol use and alcoholism. Suicide is considered a significant mental health problem for adolescents

Suicide is the act of purposely killing of oneself and considered as a serious public health problem. Most often, suicidal individuals are trying to avoid emotional or physical pain that they cannot bear; sometimes, they are very angry and take their lives to last out others (Piotrowski, N. & Hartmann, P., 2016). According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that in 2012, approximately 40,000 suicides were reported in the United States, making suicide the 10th leading reported cause of

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States (Comer, 2016). For every one suicide, twenty-five more make an attempt. It is becoming a major mental health concern as the rate of suicidal behavior and death by suicide increases yearly worldwide. There is no single cause for suicide ideation or behavior, however; there are triggering factors that can precipitate or motivate someone to attempt suicide (Comer, 2016). These factors include drug or alcohol abuse and stressful life events

In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention established that 6.3% of high school students have attempted suicide in the preceding year. Given the lethal consequences of suicide attempts, determining risk factors among adolescents becomes especially important. Generally speaking, psychiatric disorders and substantial psychosocial impairments are known to be associated with suicide attempts. However, previous research attempting to identify specific risk factors in adolescents is somewhat

examine factors associated with longer LOS in the ED. The purpose of this study is to examine specifically the patient population that presents to the emergency department with suicidal ideation (SI), due to the lack of literature regarding the topic of LOS in patients with suicidal ideation. Considering how vulnerable suicidal patients are, it is even more crucial to provide prompt and timely care to them, and find ways to reduce their LOS in the ED. SI is defined as unusual thoughts or desire to

Furthermore, death is an extreme outcome of intimate partner violent in women (Guggisberg, 2006). Women who are victims of intimate partner violence are four times more likely to have suicidal ideation than non-abused women (Guggisberg, 2006). However, death goes both ways for women who have been victims of abusive relationships; they commit suicide or they kill their abusers (Guggisberg, 2006). Traditional attitudes towards intimate partner

other questions that need to be incorporated into the assessment. The CAMS Framework uses a Suicide Status Form (SSF) which guides the patient’s treatment. “CAMS is a clinical philosophy that emphasizes collaboration and empathy for the patient’s suicidal state in the pursuit of suicide-specific interventions. CAMS is designed to enhance the therapeutic alliance and increase motivation in the patient in a joint effort to effectively target

his primary care provider. Prior to Mr. Wooten coming to the ED his provider contacted TACT with concerns of Mr. Wooten mentioning suicidal ideation with a plan to use a gun to shoot himself and experiencing depression. At the time of the assessment Mr. Wooten denies suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, and symptoms of psychosis. He states having no suicidal ideation today, however mentioned to his provider a previous thought of harming himself. It should be noted Mr. Wooten was seen on 4/22/17

Complaint/Presenting Symptomology: Ms. Jacobs presents with the chief complaint of suicidal ideation for the past three months and reports superficially cutting her arms on occasion; she states she wanted to “see what it would feel like”. She lives with a roommate whom she confided in about her suicidal ideation. She has pondered methods in which she could take her life. When asked what her plan to carry out her suicidal ideation was, she reported a plan to shoot herself in the head while leaning out the

unfortunately can be correlated with higher levels of suicidal behavior (Mustanksi et al., 2010). The sudden increase in depression and suicidal behaviors is most prevalent in the youth of the LGBT community today, although college students as well as adults have also reported higher levels of mental disorders (Mustanski et al., 2010).
