Which warning sign should immediately be brought to the attention of a mental health professional?

Suicidal thoughts can signal an immediate risk of self-harm and should be reported to a mental health professional right away. Illogical thinking may also be concerning, but suicidal thoughts require especially urgent attention. Occasional substance use or a minor sleep change may warrant discussion, but they are not as immediately urgent as suicidal thoughts.
