Individuals with psychiatric disorders, particularly bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance abuse are at higher risk of suicide. So, too, are those with anxiety disorders, especially severe anxiety. Veterans and military personnel, members of the LGBTQ community, and white men ages 44-64 and 85 and older are also more impacted by suicide.
A fact sheet from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention shows that 12 million Americans had suicidal thoughts, and about 1.4 million tried to carry out those suicidal ideations. Among those whose death resulted from suicide, men were 3.63 times more likely than women to end their lives. Women, however, attempted suicide 1.66 times more than men. Tragically, in 90 percent of the suicide deaths, the individuals had a diagnosable mental health disorder or condition.
When considering therapies that can relieve suicidal thoughts, it’s important to recognize that there’s no single approach that’s universally effective. Different treatments have different efficacy for different disorders. Someone with treatment-resistant depression who’s experiencing chronic suicidal thoughts may benefit more from certain types of suicidal therapy than someone who’s thought about suicide after losing a loved one or feels hopeless following a lengthy illness or terminal diagnosis.
A suicide-specific form of psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy for suicide prevention (CT-SP) has shown impressive results in reducing suicidal thoughts and repeat suicide attempts, reducing depressive symptoms, and increasing hope. A primary treatment focus is reducing suicide risk factors and increasing coping skills. Central to the therapy is the tenet that the individual will continue to have stressors and problems, but armed with effective coping skills, they’ll no longer be automatically triggered to suicidal behavior.
This form of suicidal therapy includes a strategy for relapse prevention and making use of a hope kit to help prevent subsequent suicidal behavior.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Suicidal thoughts are often a sign of deep pain, not a wish to die. I provide a calm, non-punitive space to talk honestly about it so we can lower risk and increase hope. We identify the parts of you that want relief, build a safety plan, address trauma/depression drivers, and — if needed — add medication support. My goal is to help you stay alive and build a life that actually feels livable.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Suicidal thoughts can be very scary and isolating to experience, and very difficult to talk about. Seeking help to address those thoughts is an incredibly brave step, and I would be honored to support you in exploring your narrative to better understand the root cause of these thoughts, to empower you in your ability and skillset to reduce and eliminate these thoughts, and to have compassion for yourself in the process. You are not alone in this experience or this healing process, and you deserve to feel valuable, to feel joy, and to enjoy your life.

Registered Social Worker, RSW, MA, RP
Even in the darkest moments of suicidal thoughts, there are times - however brief - when the pain feels slightly less intense or when you've found reasons to hold on, revealing your innate capacity for survival and hope. By acknowledging these moments of strength and building upon the ways you've already kept yourself safe, while taking small steps toward your vision of change, you'll discover that life can gradually become more bearable as you connect with your natural resilience and the unique reasons that make your presence in this world meaningful.
