When you are in a state of profound emotional pain, your mind can start to believe that ending your life is the only way to make the hurt stop. These thoughts are not a sign of weakness or a character flaw; they are a severe symptom of an underlying and treatable medical condition. For driven, successful professionals, the immense pressure to perform while hiding this level of distress can make the feelings of hopelessness and isolation even more intense.
At Northplace Wellness, we want you to know one thing above all else: hope is real, and healing is possible. Our professional psychiatric clinic in Garland, TX, provides expert, compassionate, and evidence-based medical care to address the root causes of suicidal thoughts. Our primary goal is to treat the underlying condition that is causing your pain, help you find stability, and guide you back to a life that feels worth living.
Suicidal thoughts (or suicidal ideation) exist on a spectrum, from a passive feeling that you wouldn’t mind if you didn’t wake up, to actively planning a suicide attempt. Any and all of these thoughts are a clear signal that your emotional pain has exceeded your capacity to cope, and it is a critical sign that you need immediate professional, medical help.
These thoughts are almost always a symptom of a treatable mental health condition, such as:
Severe Depression: An overwhelming and persistent feeling of hopelessness and worthlessness.
Bipolar Disorder: The intense depressive episodes associated with Bipolar Disorder carry a high risk of suicidal ideation.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The unbearable pain of unresolved trauma can lead to thoughts of suicide.
Anxiety Disorders: In severe cases, the constant state of panic and worry can feel inescapable.
Schizophrenia: Psychotic symptoms can sometimes include commands to self-harm.
You do not have to live with this pain. We are here to help you treat the source.
Your safety and well-being are our only priorities. Our approach to treating the underlying causes of suicidal thoughts is comprehensive, medical, and collaborative.
Confidential Psychiatric Evaluation: Your journey begins with a thorough, compassionate, and non-judgmental evaluation. Our expert clinicians will work to accurately diagnose the root cause of your emotional pain, be it depression, trauma, or another condition.
Safety Planning: A critical first step is creating a collaborative safety plan. This is a practical, personalized strategy to help you navigate moments of crisis.
Strategic Medication Management: This is often the most important initial intervention. Medications such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers can be highly effective at correcting neurochemical imbalances and providing the stability needed to reduce acute symptoms and make therapy possible.
Evidence-Based Psychotherapy: As you begin to stabilize, we utilize powerful, life-affirming therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These therapies are proven to help you build distress tolerance, regulate your emotions, challenge hopeless thinking, and develop concrete reasons for living.
Expert Medical Care: Our team of psychiatric professionals has the expertise to diagnose and treat the serious conditions that lead to suicidal thoughts.
Absolute Confidentiality: We provide a safe, secure, and professional environment where you can speak openly without fear of judgment.
A Message of Hope and Recovery: We believe in your capacity to heal and will be your unwavering partner on the path back to a hopeful future.
A Focus on the “Why”: We don’t just manage symptoms; we treat the underlying medical condition to create lasting change.
