【 摘 要 】

Objective: Regulatory agencies and suicidality scales have focused on the value of a count of suicidal ideation and behavior events, even though the clinical usefulness and predictive value of the count of events in the global assessment of suicidality is unclear. This case study explores the value of this event count and offers a more sensitive alternative to tracking the count of events.
