You are assessing a 45-year-old female who is severely depressed. she states that it seems as though her entire world is crashing down around her. she further states that she has had frequent thoughts of suicide, but is not sure if she can actually go through with it. how should you manage this situation?

Respuesta :

One should hug her and tell her that she is important, wanted, and needed. She needs to know that many people will be affected if she kills herself. If she has kids, they rely on her for food, for shelter, for love, and for education. Her job and her possible clients need her help. She should then go to a doctor and get a prescription for anti-depressants and be surrounded by loved ones who can try to understand what she is going through.
