So if you monitor risk from the moment they see the doctor, it looks like The First Week with the doctor is the most dangerous Week, but actually The First Week, the highest risk Week, was The Week or two before they saw the doctor.
Suicide is a heavy topic, but understanding it better can save lives. In this episode of 'Shrink Speak', Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, Chair of Psychiatry at Columbia University, brings together a panel of experts to discuss the intricacies of suicide prevention. Joining him are Dr. Kelly Posner and Dr. J. John Mann, both esteemed figures from Columbia University, along with journalist and author Stephen Fried.
Together, they explore the science behind suicide prevention, touching on critical issues like the link between depression and the shortage of psychiatrists in the US. They also highlight the role of resilience and positive social cues in safeguarding mental health, especially for young people. The conversation doesn't shy away from the tough questions: Why are suicide rates rising in the US? How does discrimination impact mental health? What responsibilities do journalists have when reporting on suicide?
This episode sheds light on the essential period after someone seeks help and stresses the importance of continuous patient engagement. By focusing on evidence-based reporting and public education, the guests offer valuable insights into preventing suicide. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of mental health and the pivotal role media plays in shaping public perception.
