%X Emergency physicians often encounter covertly and overtly suicidal patients, and can thus play a key role in the prevention of suicide. The epidemiology and diverse presentations of suicidal behavior are reviewed. We then provide a detailed approach to the assessment of suicide risk, and criteria for safe discharge from the emergency department (ED). Finally, management considerations for the ED are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
