Dubya,

Thanks for translating--I hadn't heard the word "anankastic" before.

About suicidal thoughts: My belief is that you should be honest with your doctor. Having the thoughts won't put you in the hospital. You would need to be in the hospital if you were at risk of acting on those thoughts. The doctor would ask you questions about this to help determine how at risk you are.

Also, you describe them as being unintentional or unconscious, which makes me wonder if it is more a function of the obsessive disorder--like intrusive, unwanted thoughts. Or maybe they are both---ie, sometimes a reflection of really feeling suicidal, and sometimes intrusive thoughts?

But in general, I have found that my treatment works best if I am up front with the therapist and psychopharmologist.
