Suicidal Ideation ICD 10 CM Code R45.851

Suicidal ideation, also known as suicidal thoughts, concerns thoughts about or an unusual preoccupation with suicide. The range of suicidal ideation varies greatly from fleeting thoughts to extensive thoughts, to detailed planning, role-playing (e.g., standing on a chair with a noose), and incomplete attempts, which may be deliberately constructed to not complete or to be discovered, or maybe fully intended to result in death. Still, the individual survives (e.g., in the case of a hanging in which the cord breaks). According to Suicidal Ideation ICD-10-CM Code R45.851 guidelines, this code should not be used as a principal diagnosis code when a related definitive diagnosis has been established.

Number of deaths due to intentional self-harm per 100,000 population USA 2020

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and the 2nd leading cause of death in people between 10-34. The gravity of the situation can be seen in the fact that every 11 minutes, one person loses their life to suicide.  If you are considering suicide or know of someone that feels suicidal, reach out for help and suicidal ideation treatment because you might save a life – your own or someone else’s.

Unfortunately, many cases of suicide are not reported due to stigma, religion, and other concerns. Hence, the actual picture may be even darker than statistics shows. Populations with disproportionately high suicide rates include:

  • Males have a suicide rate 3.7 times higher compared with females.
  • American Indian/Alaska Native individuals have the highest suicide rates in the nation, followed by non-Hispanic white individuals. Suicide rates among Hispanic, Black, and Asian/Pacific Islander individuals are significantly lower than rates among American Indian/Alaska Native and white individuals.
  • Older adults have a higher suicide rate when compared with younger adults and adolescents. By age and gender, the highest suicide rate is among males ages 65 and older, followed by males ages 45 to 54. Among females, those ages 45-54 have the highest rate, followed by those ages 55-64.
  • Suicide rates among veterans were 1.5 times greater than non-veterans, after adjusting for age and gender in 2016.
  • Those living in rural areas compared with those living in urban areas.
  • LGBTQ adults and youth compared with heterosexual adults and youth.

Understanding the issues concerning suicide and mental health is a meaningful way to participate in suicide prevention, help others in crisis, and change the conversation around suicide.  If you are having suicidal thoughts, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:
