Thanks for your query.I understand that you are going through a very difficult time. Suicidal thoughts can be due to intolerable stress, depression or other psychological problems. However, you needs a detailed evaluation to arrive at a definitive diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment. Since you appear to be quite distressed by these thoughts, I would advise you to seek help urgently. Please share your feeling with someone close and I would also advise you to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further treatment. Effective treatment is available in the form of medication or counselling.Wish you all the best.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist
