Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Evaluation of youth with suicidal ideation should include a detailed review of the presenting chief complaint, as well as identification of co-occurring conditions that require active emergency department (ED) management.
  • Thorough review of systems and subtle physical examination findings can help differentiate specific toxidromes or medical conditions that may mimic symptoms of depression.
  • Children with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder who present with self-injurious behaviors require a careful history and physical examination, as these behaviors may represent a manifestation of pain.
