[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 638842, member: 14557"] His sport psychiatric has likened him, with humour, to Ferrari that has accidentally been set up with breaks and steering of Fiat Punto. He does have the makings of something rather impressive, but it will to be seen if he is able to live up his potential. You are not overstepping. I don't like to mention my worries about suicide around here often because I don't want to sound overly dramatic, but you have to understand that in our neck of woods suicide rates are something totally different than in North America. It is down from what it has been (dramatic change after SSRIs came to market), but it still is over the double of your suicide rate. It is the most common reason of death for young men by far. From the moment I found out about difficult child's gambling addiction, it has been a great worry of mine (suicide rate for gambling addicts is insanely high), but it is also a thing I can't really do much about. He has admitted suicidal ideation before. He did finally admit his fall to the water was indeed more or less a suicide attempt (not really premeditated or thoroughly considered but impulsive and he did change his mind midflight) and while it originally was reported as accident in his medical file, I made sure that during this latests crisis and hospital stay the doctors were informed and it was written down as a suicide attempt. Getting things down was also a reason I insisted to take him to ER today too. This one I don't believe to have been a suicide attempt. Burning one's personal things could be preparation for suicide, but the burn he got was anything but dangerous. Capsaicin doesn't cause real damage either. I did check for any sign of preparation to real suicide attempt as well as I could. He couldn't have got himself killed with the fire he had, he had taken gasoline away before lighting it, no spare ropes anywhere, no knives out of their place, he doesn't have medications he could use to kill himself, no sign of him driving around (cars and rock cuttings on highways being popular methods) and so on. And he absolutely denies it. We are back home and I did ask if the doctor asked about suicidal thoughts. He had but difficult child said the same thing he has said from the last spring after he admitted that falling that bridge wasn't an accident. He has decided against it and he is not quite that selfish that he would do it to me, husband and easy child, our extended family or his girlfriend. Of course when person gets depressed enough, their can become delusional and start to think that their death would be a relief to their loved ones. Or he could be just humouring us. If nothing else this visit goes to his record as suspicious and possible self harm and it should show to his counsellor when she opens difficult child's record on next visit that is luckily tomorrow. difficult child also says that ER doctor put forward a note to difficult child's treating psychiatrist. But you are right, I will also call and tell my worries about self harm and burning valuable personal belongings. And maybe also the narrative to his life I wrote her couple weeks ago. It is extremely negative and lacking hope. And yes, also the MD of his team has to be informed even though it may hurt his career and he will be dead set against it. [/QUOTE]
