Suicidal ideation, marked by thoughts of self-harm or ending one’s life, is a significant mental health issue with the potential for grave outcomes if not appropriately addressed. This phenomenon affects a broad spectrum of individuals and is frequently linked to mental health disorders, although ideation can also emerge due to situational stressors. Recognizing suicidal ideation early and identifying the underlying causes are crucial steps in enhancing a patient’s quality of life and reducing the likelihood of suicide. Given the global rise in suicide rates, a thorough understanding and effective management of suicidal ideation are imperative.This activity reviews the essential knowledge and tools for practical evaluation and management of patients with suicidal ideation. Understanding the intricacies of suicidal ideation, including etiology, risk factors, potential complications, and the critical role of early intervention, leads to reduced morbidity and mortality. Participating clinicians will acquire knowledge and skills to understand various manifestations of suicidal thoughts, their impact on daily lives and relationships, and vital techniques for risk assessment and management.
