Abstract
Similar to suicidal ideations, those with OCD and suicidal obsessions may frequently think about suicide. While traditional suicide assessments disregard affective differences between suicidal ideations and suicidal obsessions, first-person suicide images may help clarify this case conceptualization. We hypothesize that the images will accurately predict our participants' primary psychiatric diagnosis.
