Suicidal behaviour represents a direct threat to the life and health of the patient. Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential. In the case

of impending suicide or attempted suicide, a psychiatric examination is indicated to diagnose a possible mental disorder and propose

a therapeutic strategy. Assessment of the risk of repeat suicidal behaviour is important.
