How would a doctor react to telling them about intrusive thoughts of death?

If you told a doctor that you sometimes have thoughts of say, walking in front of a bus, or killing other people, what do you think they would do? If you were absolutely certain and clear with the doctor that these were only thoughts, and that you would never act on them? Would the doctor acknowledge them just as intrusive thoughts, or would they be worried that you were crazy and put you in hospital?


Thanks in advance for your thoughts.|||You would not be put in a hospital for having those thoughts. Intrusive, unwanted thoughts are symptoms of depression, OCD, and a few other (non-psychotic) mental illnesses. Most likely you would be prescribed an antidepressant because they can be effective at reducing those thoughts. You may also be referred to a counselor to learn techniques to manage your thoughts and emotions better. The doctor will ask questions about other thoughts and behaviors you have to try to get a better understanding of what's going on and give you a better diagnosis. I have had very similar thoughts and they were greatly reduced when I was prescribed an antidepressant. Good luck to you and please seek help. There's no reason you have to continue to live with those thoughts! Do not let fear stop you. =)|||I am a 13 year old middleschooler with severe depression. he wont put you in a hospital at those first thoughts if you knew you wouldn't act on them. It took 2 suicide attempts to get me in one of those places for less than a week. you will probly see a therapist for a while, and get you on some meds.|||I think the doctor would take you very seriously and would be able to give you advice about what to do. I'm sure they would refer you to someone to talk to about your thoughts and get them worked out.|||I have experienced this. Told my psych and he would just up my dose of medication and I had appointments with him more frequently.

One day at TAN TOCK SENG HOSPITAL - Centre for Communicable Disease a man suspected of SARS is lying in bed with a mask over his mouth. A young auxiliary nurse arrives to sponge his face and hands.





"Nurse," he mumbles from behind the mask, "Are my testicles black?"





Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know Mr Kwan, I'm only here to wash your face and hands."





He struggles again to ask, "Nurse, are my testicles black?"





Again the nurse replies, "I can't tell. I'm only here to wash your face and hands."





The Head Nurse was passing and saw the man getting a little distraught so she marched over to inquire what was wrong.





"Nurse," he mumbled, "Are my testicles black?"





Being a nurse of long-standing, the Head Nurse was undaunted. She whipped back the bedclothes, pulled down his pyjama trousers, moved his penis out of the way, had a right good look, pulled up the pyjamas, replaced the bedclothes and announced, "Nothing wrong with your testicles!!!"





At this, the man pulled off his mask and yelled, "I SAID... Are my TEST RESULTS BACK !!!"|||LMAO!! they couldnt hear wat hear wat he said behind that mask!! LMAO!! this joke's hilarious!! lol!! have star MR.KWAN!! lol!!**************|||Very funny!|||Omg FREAKIN FUNNY!!!|||Heard it before but your presentation is great....lol|||haha heard it before but still good

Howard had felt guilty all day long. No matter how much he tried to


forget about it, he couldn't. The guilt and sense of betrayal was


overwhelming.


But every once in a while he'd hear that small inner voice trying to


reassure him, "Howard. Don't worry about it. You aren't the first


doctor to sleep with one of your patients and you won't be the last."


But invariably the other voice would bring him back to reality,


"Howard. You're a vet"|||LMAO!!!!
