Brief summary
The Campbell Score is a blood based means of assessing molecules believed to be associated with suicidal ideation and in some cases successful suicide. The current clinical trial will assess the Campbell Score in 3 groups: Group 1: 10 patients with no personal or family psychiatric history and no suicide attempts. Group 2: 10 patients with suicidal ideation (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale suicide item \>2) and reported low acquired capability for suicide (Acquired Capability for Suicide Scale \<20). Group 3: 10 patients with suicidal ideation (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale suicide item \>2) and reported high acquired capability for suicide (Acquired Capability for Suicide Scale \>60). The goal of the study is to confirm efficacy of Campbell Score in identifying patients with high suicidal ideation potential.
Interventions
The Campbell Score is a blood based assessment of inflammatory and immunologically associated markers that is currently in development as a means of predicting suicidal ideations.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
