This is a real-world medical entrance exam question, please give the true answer based on the question and selection. Topic name: None, Subject name: Psychiatry
A patient presents to the emergency department with self-harm and indicates suicidal intent. Which of the following conditions does not warrant an immediate specialist assessment - 
Select and explain. 
A. Formal thought disorder, B. Acute alcohol intoxication, C. Chronic severe physical illness, D. Social isolation
B: Acute alcohol intoxication
Answer: B: Acute alcohol intoxication 
Explanation: Serious physical illness, Formal thought disorders (Schizophrenia), social isolation (depression) and acute alcohol intoxication are all established risk factors for suicidal ideation / completed suicide and should be assessed by a mental health specialist.
An accurate specialist assessment cannot, however, be performed on an intoxicated individual and hence immediate referral to mental health specialist is not warranted for such patients until the patient is sober.
