Answers:
Your doctor can only disclose your information if you are a threat to yourself or others!. Since you would be telling him that you are suicidal, you would be considered a threat to yourself and the doctor would have to help you do something about it!. But if even you understand that you have a problem, you really need to tell someone so you can seek help immediately!. I understand that you may have issues with being around people, but by seeking help you will be able to get over these problems!.!.!.It is the only way because suicide is NOT the way!. Trust your doctors and nurses, we are here for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you'll definitely be hospitalized!.!.!. are you seeing a psychiatrist or therapist!? or is this a general practitioner!? its not as bad as you think!.!. ive been twice!. its nervewracking the first day but after that you get used to it!. you can stay in your room if people bother you!. of course the less you interact the longer you stay!.!.!.!.
its definitely worth going if you plan on killing yourself!.!.!.!.!. GO!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you've realized and are open about the fact that you have these thoughts, you obviously see that it isn't healthy and that you need some sort of treatment beyond what you're already receiving!. You should definitely be open with your doctor!. Millions of people have different mental health issues and there are all sorts of drugs/treatment methods available to help!. Your doctor was trained to deal with these situations and he/she knows exactly what to do that will help you in the long run!. I can't say for certain what your doctor will decide as I'm obviously not a medical professional myself, but I think you should put your trust in their hands!.


Best of luck to you! Take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tell the doctor, they need to adjust you medication if nothing else!. he can't put you in the hospital without your parents permission!. even if you did end up in the hospital it is not as bad as it sounds!. you need help and it can provide it for you!. you would be around less people than you are at school and they know how treat social anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Prozac has a tendency to make teens and young adult more suicidal!. Tell your doctor ASAP!. They will prolly put you on something else!.

Suicide is a lame way out!. It is a permanent solution to a temporary situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

He would want to hospitalize you for your own safty if you were having urges to commit suiside!.
If you are thinking about it and are planing/having urges to do so you should probly talk to him about it!.
He wants to help you not get you into truble or anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Exspress yourself through words and anything else thats not violent, the worst that can happen is that the Doc feeds you and puts you to sleep!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
