I Get Suicidal thoughts but don’t have the will to carry them out. I feel very slightly depressed but not enough to warrant these thoughts.

Do you think that you might be interested objectively in the idea of suicide? Not personally, but the concept of it.

Is the depression due to another reason entirely? What do you think it is?

Antidepressants trick your brain into thinking that it’s producing more of a certain hormone (i think it’s called serotonin) than there actually is. Now from what I’ve heard from my friends, they sometimes don’t do the job, and i guess they either don’t do anything or have an opposite effect.

Though don’t take my word for it, but i do have a few friends that take antidepressants and other medications.

Assuming this is under american law, than likely they would have whats called a 5150 hold placed on them. Thats a 72 hour observation in a psyche hospital where they are counseled by a psychiatrist and are determined whether or not they are a danger to self or others, medication may or may not be advised and prescribed.

Otherwise they are usually referred to a therapist under court sanction and expense.
