Doctors should change the way they ask patients about self-harm, suicide

Doctors should change the way they ask patients about self-harm, suicide ANI | Updated: Dec 21, 2020 23:45 IST Washington [US], December 21 (ANI): Doctors can help patients with mental health concerns in a better way by using a different style of questioning about self-harm and suicide, experts said. The study was published in Patient Education and Counseling journal. New research warns patients may find it difficult to disclose thoughts of self-harm because of the way in which GPs (General Practitioners) ask about them. Academics who examined consultations found that GPs were prone to ask questions in a way that invited a no response (e.g. You re not having any thoughts of harming yourself? ) and that patients were subsequently more hesitant when reporting thoughts of self-harm.
