The correct answer defines an important aspect of mental health emergencies. Suicidal ideation refers to the consideration or contemplation of suicide, which can manifest in various forms such as thoughts of death, a desire to die, or planning ways to end one's life. This is distinct from related terms like self-harm, which may not involve intent to die, differentiating intent and thought processes that require different interventions.
