Suicidal Ideation

Suicidal ideation, also known as suicidal thoughts, thinks about, contemplates, or plans to commit suicide. The range of suicidal ideation varies from short thoughts, to broad thoughts, to detailed planning.

Most people with suicidal thoughts do not continue to attempt suicide, but suicidal thoughts are considered part of the risk. In 2008-09, an estimated 8.3 million adults 18 years and older in the United States, or 3.7% of U.S. adults, reported having suicidal thoughts in the past year. An estimated 2.2 million people in the U.S. are reported to have committed suicide plans in 2014. Suicidal thoughts are also common among teens.

Suicidal thoughts are often associated with depression and other mood disorders; however, there appears to be association with many other mental illnesses, health events, and family events, all of which can increase the risk of suicide. For example, many people with borderline personality disorder show a delicate suicidal behavior and suicidal thoughts.
