Hi. I'm having some issues with suicidal thoughts and thoughts of self harm. I've been this way for a few years but it seems to be getting worse. Because I've been going through it for so long, I was just wondering if maybe I'd be okay dealing with it on my own, or would it be an idea to see a doctor, and if so, what kind of treatment would be recommended?
Hi,Thanks for writing.Suicidal thoughts are serious, and should not be neglected. You need professional care at the earliest. Please consult a psychiatrist. You may require both drugs and psychotherapy.Hope this helps,Dr A Rao
