What is Suicidal Ideation?
Suicidal ideation refers to thoughts of wanting to end one's life, which can range from fleeting considerations to detailed planning. It is a serious mental health concern that often coexists with conditions like depression, anxiety, or trauma. Approximately 12-18% of adolescents experience suicidal thoughts, highlighting the need for timely intervention and support.
