With suicide remaining a leading cause of death for people aged between 15-44 in Australia, clinicians in the OCD space need to ask the question: How do we differentiate between suicidal ideation and obsessive intrusive suicidal thoughts? In this episode, we discuss how to work with a client when they come to you with suicidal thoughts, why it is critical to take all mentions of suicide seriously, and how to determine whether a person with OCD is presenting with suicidal ideation consistent with wishes to die or whether it&rsquo;s intrusive suicidal OCD. This episode contains discussions about suicide. If you find this episode distressing and would like more support, please seek help from your local healthcare provider. If you&rsquo;re in Australia, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 at any time. &nbsp; Resources and links: <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.lifeline.org.au/">Lifeline website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.melbournewellbeinggroup.com.au/training-psychology-ocd-workshops-ocd-training">Webinars, books, and training by Melbourne Wellbeing Group</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.drcelingelgec.com.au/training-ocd-workshops">OCD training workshops by Dr Celin Gelgec</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.drcelingelgec.com.au/supervision-ocd-treatment">OCD focused supervision for healthcare professionals with Dr Celin Gelgec</a></li> </ul> &nbsp; Connect: <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.melbournewellbeinggroup.com.au/">https://www.melbournewellbeinggroup.com</a></li> </ul> This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.
