文摘

When mental images of suicide are present, suicidal ideation is more severe. Feeling trapped and imagining escape via suicide predicts suicidal ideation severity. Resolution of suicidal ideation corresponds to a reduction in suicidal imagery. Asking patients about mental images of suicide can improve risk assessment. Suicidal mental imagery could be a novel target for suicide prevention interventions.
