Talk:Suicidal ideation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Most people who undergo suicidal ideation do not commit suicide", sounds like a retelling of the myth that 'If someone talks about suicide, then they won't do it', though it can be cited to http://www.aafp.org/afp/990315ap/1500.html . It seems to carry a connotation that if someone is undergoing ideation then they most likely won't, though it appears that ideation is a symptom of the risk though not a gaurantee. I think the sentence is factually correct, but sounds like it is saying something else.--Moriar 03:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] NPOV?

Although I sympathize with the general POV of this article, it does not seem to meet Wikipedia's standard of NPOV. ("should" statements...) Aleta 08:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)



To me, it seems biased and suggests that commiting suicide is not the right thing to do for a depressed person. I also agree with Aleta's statements. --D. James 04:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
