Rationale: What will you accomplish by taking your life?' This question is not therapeutic and may be perceived as judgmental or dismissive. 'What happened to you in the past to make you so desperate?' This question focuses on past events and may not address the immediate crisis. 'Why do you feel depressed enough to end your life?' This question is less direct and may not elicit a specific plan, which is crucial for assessing risk. 'How will you carry out your plan?' This question is direct and helps to determine if the client has a specific plan, which is a key factor in assessing the immediacy and severity of the suicide risk.
