Vivian: Thank you for taking the BDI, Sonia, your responses were very helpful. I appreciate your cooperation. I know it can be difficult to answer private questions, and you did an Image of Sonia sitting in a chair.excellent job. I just have some quick questions that I would like to ask you in person, if that is okay.

Sonia: Sure.

Vivian: Your BDI indicated that you do not have thoughts about killing yourself, is this true?

Sonia: I don't think about that. It's too morbid.

Vivian: That's good to hear. Now, have you ever thought about suicide, or has anyone in your family thought about or acted on it?

Sonia: No one in my family has ever had suicidal thoughts, or at least they didn't tell me, and it wasn't something that was obvious.
