Abstract
Replies to comments by Paniagua (see record 2027-90077-005) on the original article by Jobes and Barnett (see record 2024-78987-001). The quality of research on psychological interventions for suicide risk and for the use of medications alone and in conjunction with psychological interventions is discussed. Risks associated with medication treatment and benefits of psychological interventions are considered. The need to address the underlying causes of suicidality is emphasized with thoughtful attention to relying on the strongest possible research evidence available today to optimally treat suicidal risk to decrease suffering and help save lives.
