With suicide remaining a leading cause of death for people aged between 15-44 in Australia, clinicians in the OCD space need to ask the question: How do we differentiate between suicidal ideation and obsessive intrusive suicidal thoughts?

In this episode, we discuss how to work with a client when they come to you with suicidal thoughts, why it is critical to take all mentions of suicide seriously, and how to determine whether a person with OCD is presenting with suicidal ideation consistent with wishes to die or whether it’s intrusive suicidal OCD.

This episode contains discussions about suicide. If you find this episode distressing and would like more support, please seek help from your local healthcare provider. If you’re in Australia, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 at any time.
