Suicide intent can be characterized by which of the following statements?

Suicide intent is primarily characterized by a person's specific thoughts and statements indicating a desire to engage in self-harm or take their own life. The statement "I will do it, I wanted to the other day" reflects concrete intentions and premeditated thoughts about suicide. This indicates a clear level of commitment to the idea of suicide, expressing not only a desire but also potential plans for carrying it out.

In contrast, feelings of indifference or not caring, seeking help, or expressing happiness and hopefulness do not convey the same level of intent. Indifference may indicate emotional distress but does not specifically relate to suicidal thoughts. Seeking help and demonstrating happiness are typically signs that a person may not actually have suicidal intent, as they reflect a desire for support or a positive outlook on life.
