Treatment OptionsPsychotherapy and medications can be effective for treating specific psychiatric disorders. In general, psychotherapy, or "talk therapy," is more than talking about problems, it's about finding solutions. A good therapist will help individual's develop skills for coping with overwhelming feelings and symptoms, and help change behavior patterns that may be contributing to suicidal thoughts. Medications may offer acute relief from suicidal thoughts and urges. Because not all treatments work the same or are appropriate for all individuals, speak with a provider to determine which treatment may be right for you. If you are experiencing a behavioral health crisis, please call TriWest at 1-866-284-3743. The National Hopeline Network at 1-800-SUICIDE provides trained telephone counselors, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Find a local crisis center.
