Clink and I are talking at at Maryland's 24th Annual Suicide Prevention Conference next week. When we were asked, we told them that suicide was not an area of specialty for either of us, and that we usually speak about the Public Face of Psychiatry and ways that blogs, podcasts, twitter, Facebook, and good old fashion books like Shrink Rap can help people understand what it is that psychiatry is all about. They told us that was fine. Still, we'd like our workshop to be relevant to the overall topic at hand, so I thought I would ask you to share your experiences with us.
If you've been suicidal, what helped get you through?
Did a mental health care professional say or do anything that was helpful?
Did hospitalization help? Did medicine help?
If you had a serious attempt, do you think there was anything someone could have said or done to have prevented your attempt?
What keeps you from acting on suicidal impulses? What has pushed you towards acting on them?
As always, thank you for your help. We continue to learn a lot from our readers!
