I agree with this. I have told my doctor and doctors in the past about suicidal ideation and they never forced me into inpatient unless I had a specific plan. They'd make sure I had things in my life/reasons I wouldn't do it (despite having thoughts of it) and they'd make sure I have crisis numbers to reach out to if things got really bad. Typically they'd just make a med adjustment if it was just for ideation, if your thoughts are passive I would explain that to the doctor. It's best to be honest with your treatment team otherwise they can't really help you much. Good luck @
