Homicidal Ideation is a common term used to describe thoughts of harming someone else. Homicidal thoughts can range in intensity from vague, sporadic thoughts to fully formulated plans without the act itself.
Most homicidal thoughts do not result in violence. Homicidal ideation typically arises from intense mental health challenges such as psychosis or delirium. However, it can also be triggered by circumstances or emotions such as jealousy, revenge, greed, lust or fear.
If you are experiencing homicidal thoughts it is important to connect with a professional. The clinicians at Catholic Family Services can help you explore the meaning behind your thoughts in a private and confidential setting.
If you are concerned about your safety or the safety of someone you know please contact your local police department or emergency services.
