Visiting your GP and suicide

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hello

What is most likely to happen in this scenario.....

A person has had a couple of visits to their GP about depression. The patient is given anti-depressants and has told the docter they have thought about killing themself.

The docter makes a appointment for a weeks time to see how the patient is getting on with the pills in the first week.

The patient turns up for the appointment and tells the docter thanks for helping but they can't do it anymore and am going to kill their self as soon as they leave the surgery, the patient tells how they would do this.

I was wondering what the docter would do? Would they let the patient leave the surgery or would someone outside be contacted and the patient go somewhere?

Thanks in advance

    I feel dragged down , and well , i cant really talk about my prsonal issues. I feel so alone and nothingis helping. If I ask, will it help? I have been told by others that flux, is better, but as it is an expensivee thing to prescribe,, they only do it , ;owpercentage. Anyway, off to ned with thoughts of my bf man who hung himself.if you could hear notes from earth, id loove to send you them . hugs to you bb.
