Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am reaching out because I am genuinely worried about my girlfriend, who has been expressing thoughts of suicide. She turned 26 last month. This has been going on for a few weeks, and I am not sure how to best support her. In terms of her health history, she has a history of anxiety and has been feeling increasingly isolated lately. I want to make sure she gets the help she needs. Can you advise on the best course of action in this situation? What steps can I take to support her, and what professional help should we seek? I appreciate any guidance you can provide to ensure her safety and well-being.
Thank you.
Hello,
I am here to help you with your health queries.
I can understand your problem and concern about your girlfriend. She is suicidal as per you. It is a psychiatry emergency. You must not leave her alone. There must not be any type of sharp equipment or tools that can harm her like a knife, glass, rope, or curtain for hanging, gun, and others. She must be under observation of any close relatives. Do not allow her to lock her room or bathroom when she is going to use it. I would suggest you to take professional help of a psychiatrist to start medication as early as you can.
I hope you get my point. Please let me know if you want some help.
Thank you.
