Suicidal Thoughts

Mental Health Disorders We Provide Mental Health Treatment For

Suicidal thoughts, also known as suicidal ideation, involve thinking about, considering, or planning suicide. They are often the result of feelings of worthlessness, despair, or unbearable pain. At St. Mary’s Wellness Center, we provide immediate and compassionate care to help individuals navigate these intense emotions and find hope.

What are Suicidal Thoughts?

Suicidal thoughts can range from brief considerations of self-harm to detailed planning. While not all thoughts result in action, they are always a sign of extreme distress and should be taken seriously. Suicidal ideation is often linked to mental health conditions such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, or substance abuse.

Causes and Risk Factors

Factors that can contribute to suicidal thoughts include:

Mental health disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, or anxiety disorders.
Substance abuse, which can impair judgment and lead to impulsivity.
Stressful life situations, including relationships, financial problems, or chronic illness and pain.
Family history of suicide or exposure to suicidal behavior.
