[quote=Anonymous]First, you need to watch him all the time. No closed doors. Hide the knives. Seriously consider a hospitalization. Just because he talks to you doesn't mean he won't attempt suicide. I would interpret his "in two years" as a soft landing of saying "I am going to kill myself . . . any time." He is suicidal NOW. I agree with the others, this is a medical emergency. It can be more difficult to find the right drug combo for teens that adults. This is another reason to consider hospitalization. Just getting him into therapy may not be enough to keep him safe. Consider DBT, a form of therapy that is effective in many cases. [/quote]
