Doctors can better help patients with mental health concerns by adopting a different questioning style around self-harm and suicide, experts have said.
New research warns patients may find it difficult to disclose thoughts of self-harm because of the way in which GPs ask about them.
Academics who examined consultations found that GPs were prone to ask questions in a way that invited a no response (e.g. You re not having any thoughts of harming yourself? ) and that patients were subsequently more hesitant when reporting thoughts of self-harm.
The study says that discussions about self-harm could be improved by GPs adopting a more open questioning style. This would mean acknowledging the possibility that patients might say yes when asked about thoughts of self-harm.
