A method for detecting suicidal predisposition in a person by securing an utterance from the person, identifying the person as being suicidally predisposed if the utterance decays substantially non-instantaneously upon conclusion and identifying the person as being suicidally predisposed if signal amplitude modulation during the utterance is low and identifying the person as being suicidally predisposed if variation in fundamental frequency during the utterance is low and identifying the person as being suicidally predisposed if frequency of amplitude modulation during the utterance is low.
