This finding comes from a study published in October 2026, which emphasizes the importance of supportive communication over the fear of being perceived as a source of harmful thoughts.

Key points

• The study explicitly states that discussing suicide is NOT a method to 'give ideas' to the person in distress.

Context and limitations
