One thing I want to get across here is to, for lack of a better word, normalize suicidal thinking.
How do we talk about suicide in a way that helps rather than harms? In this episode of the CAMH Podcast, Dr. David Goldbloom and Dr. Juveria Zaheer tackle this sensitive issue head-on. They dive into everything from clinical best practices for suicide prevention to the complex emotions faced by those left behind after a suicide. With the backdrop of high-profile suicides like Anthony Bourdain's, the discussion takes on an even greater urgency.
The doctors stress the importance of normalizing suicidal thoughts within the context of depression to encourage people to seek help. They also highlight the need for multi-faceted approaches, including limiting access to lethal means. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand more about mental health and how we can all play a part in preventing suicide.
