You can experience suicidal thoughts without having a diagnosed mental health condition.
You may be affected by:
- relationship breakdown;
- bereavement;
- financial pressure;
- homelessness;
- domestic abuse;
- academic difficulty;
- employment concerns;
- isolation;
- physical health;
- caring responsibilities;
- another significant life event.
The important question is not:
“Do you have a diagnosis?”
It is:
“What is happening, how are you feeling, and what would help you stay safe?”
