Definition of Suicidal Ideation

Suicidal ideation refers to the thoughts, ideas, or ruminations about the possibility of ending one’s life. It can range from fleeting thoughts of death to detailed planning for suicide and is often associated with various mental health disorders, particularly depression and anxiety.

Measuring Suicidal Ideation

Suicidal ideation can be measured using:

Self-report questionnaires: Tools like the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation assess the frequency and intensity of suicidal thoughts.

Clinical interviews: Mental health professionals conduct structured interviews to evaluate the presence and severity of suicidal thoughts.

Behavioral assessments: Observing changes in behavior or mood can provide insights into suicidal ideation levels.
