[quote=Anonymous]You need to learn a lot more about suicidality, very fast. People in this thread are giving you some of it but the psychiatrist you find should also educate you, as the parent, on it--check out the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention website in the meanwhile. Not all depression involves suicidality; not all suicidality is depressive. Not all self-harm (cutting, burning) is suicidal. Passive suicidality (not wanting to be alive, but also not having a plan to kill oneself) is a thing. You are going to have to learn more about this than you want, because our mental health system is terribly broken and determinations that should be up to professionals are often going to fall on you. Hang in there. Take care of yourself too. Especially, don't neglect the needs of any other children in your family and don't let them become responsible for your DD's safety. DBT is great. There may be a waiting list for a program. [/quote]
