Dealing with malingering

How do you deal with a patient with chronic suicidality and many similar presentations of coming to the ED and saying they are suicidal add whatever you like meth use, alchohol, HI, agitations/aggressive behavior, telling you he wants housing, etc. Do you discharge a patient even if they are telling you they are going to leave and kill them selves or telling you they are actively suicidal? I know we all have dealt with patients like this before so id like some insight on ways you approach... Dealing with malingering
