Warning Signs Of Suicide

PHQ-9 is a reproducible questionnaire. It's a tool that physicians use to determine possible depression or a suicidal thought, says Yanira Ruidiaz, Social Worker with Baptist Health Primary Care. Feeling hopeless, feeling trapped, feeling alone, feeling anxious or agitated, feeling as if there is no reason to go on living, thinking of suicide as a way out, experiencing mood swings and abusing alcohol or drugs are some of the warning signs for suicide.
