[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] You don’t seem to understand the severity of being suicidal. Weekly therapy is not enough. They need much more.[/quote]

Weekly therapy is exactly how my suicidality was treated (and went into remission). Of course, I delayed getting help until after college and grad school for fear of being treated how these Yale students were.[/quote]

That is not proper protocol and that's great if it worked for you, but that's not what works for everyone.  [/quote]

DP but I’ll also add that treating suicidality (which many people use to refer to depression with suicidal ideation) is very different than treating in the immediate aftermath of a suicide attempt. A history of an attempt is a much, much bigger risk factor than a history of suicidal ideation. [/quote]

Exactly, but in some of these situations, there was an attempt.  So, with that poster, weekly therapy, medication and other things might have been the proper treatment, but a 72 hour hold and released given how serious it can be, isn't enough for many.[/quote]
