I second this. Even ceddit doesn't work.  Edit: Well I found the post, if anyone cares:  Title: (Oklahoma) 15 yo daughter said she was suicidal and I took her to a psychiatrist. Psychiatrist brushed it off. Daughter took her own life that same day.  Original Post:  My 15 year old daughter told me she had been having suicidal thoughts and thinks she could have depression. It would have explained a lot, we noticed over the summer that she got more irritable, down, and was isolating more. She denied anything was wrong until recently. But everyone, even her 9 year old brother, suspected something was wrong. > > I called a psychiatrist and got an appointment for her the following week. The psychiatrist said that all teenagers girls are like this, teenage girls just romanticize mental illness and suicide. It’s just teenage angst and her peers. He also said that she’s going to be dramatic because she’s a teenage girl, and this could be a cry for attention. But if she were a boy, then we should be concerned because boys are serious about suicide, and girls just want attention. Yes, he really did say that. > > While we were driving home, I assured her I didn’t believe the psychiatrist and I would find a new one. She was silent the way home. > > I managed to find some more and talked to her about who she wanted to see, but she seemed reluctant to see one again. > > Sometime during the night, she snuck out out of the house and hanged herself. > > She was in unbearable mental anguish, and instead of helping her, the pathetic excuse of a “psychiatrist” just brushes her off because she’s a teenage girl. I think she was worried that all psychiatrists would be like that. She was at her wits end, and he just pushes her over the edge. But if he had actually done his job, maybe she would still be here. > > Can I sue the psychiatrist? Is there any legal action I could take?  No fat hate really, but there is some in the comments.
