suicidal teens two suggestions

[hopefulforfuture]

Dear medhelp ,

I love this site very much esp the depression forum . and this site is quite active ..  
But i find it would be helpful if any teenager who posts with some suicidal ideation should get a reply from a moderator preferably.  In that way they will never feel unanswered  ..

Also though this is multicountry  a link  would also be good .... which shows what to do if u r suicidal  ...

thanks for keeping this wonderful site . i love it
regards

Hi, hopefulforfuture,

As a dysthymic, you're likely to have a lot of helpful insights for anyone coping with depression; I hope to see more of you in our forums. :)

You can find more resources at the link below.  Scroll down the page to see Articles, Slideshows, and Health Pages on Depression.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm always watching for posts that indicate someone may be in trouble, and I report them ASAP to the moderators.  As the community leader of the depression forum, I keep a close eye on that, so rest assured MH is addressing that and reaching out to them.

In the meantime, you can always posts words of support, and numbers to hotlines, that kind of thing.  You can always send me a PM as well, but definitely hit the report button in addition if you're seeing something of concern, so it gets to the mods..  There's a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff that happens in these situations, which is good.

Hi there -

If you see anyone posting about suicide, you can report it to us. If you report it as abuse, we will see it very soon after you report it (and we won't view it as abuse, but it ensures we see it quickly).

Good idea about a link. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know!

Emily
