abstract="BACKGROUND: Some young people presenting to primary care experience suicidal symptoms that they do not report. METHOD: We conducted a survey of suicidal ideation among 15-24-year-old patients presenting to Australian general practitioners. RESULTS: Patients who experienced substantial, but unstated, suicidal symptoms tended to be female and somewhat younger; their depression and distress levels, while not as high as suicidal patients with psychological complaints, were nonetheless elevated. CONCLUSIONS: Young patients who evince any signs of depression or distress, particularly but not only young females, should be evaluated regarding psychological symptoms, including suicidal ideation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
