Brain patterns could now help detect suicidal thoughts

A computer may now be able to detect suicidal thoughts. Scientists found that words like "death" and "trouble" produce a neutral signature in suicidal people. The report was documented in the journal "Nature Human Behavior." More than 44,000 thousand commit suicide per year in the U.S. alone. "There really is a difference in the way [suicidal] people think about certain concepts," author Marcel Just told NPR.
