Listed in the pharmaceutical monographs for psychotropic drugs it states
Suicidal Behaviour and Ideation: Patients, their caregivers, and families should be counselled to monitor for signs of suicidal ideation and behaviours and should be encouraged to report any distressing thoughts or feelings at anytime to their healthcare professional.
When I first started investigating exactly how my daughter died I felt like this would hold the Doctors accountable for not informing us of my daughters suicidal ideation. I was wrong. Where you see the “should” word it is merely a recommendation and not a law. Doctors do not have to follow these important instructions. This is why we need the safety waiver. A mandatory waiver so that a person of the patients choice is involved and there’s a safety plan.
