Suicide is a compulsive self inflicted death. People who end their own lives do not actually want to die but they feel there is no other option to relieve them of their pain. Globally, one in 100deaths are due to suicide and the number of suicide cases annually is over 700,000. For each of these cases, there are many more attempted, but unsuccessful. The suicide rate in Africa is 15 by 100,000 people especially in men. It has been reported that 90% of suicide deaths are related to mental health conditions and substance use disorders. And over 70% of such suicide related deaths due to mental health conditions are attributed to depressive disorders. *Suicide is preventable, let’s normalize help seeking behaviors* #cphia2023 #mentalhealthishealth #suicidepreventionawareness

Crime is a serious matter, I don't deny it. Our politicians should equip police and justice to eliminate it. However, if you live in Europe, did you know what that your biggest risk ok being killed is YOURSELF ? In the UK, 1,2 men out of 100.000 is murdered, when 11,2 men out of 100.000 of them commit suicide. So 10X. Mental health should be a priority for all of us, including companies. The silent mental health epidemic is taking a huge toll on human lives. #mentalhealth #sucideprevention

I am saddened to see published evidence of what I witness in practice. What can we do to correct course? What if we educated all of healthcare to identify SMI earlier? What if we had "permission" from insurance companies to use newer treatments with improved efficacy and tolerability FIRST line rather than 5th? What if health and human services budgets were funded, not slashed, so we could offer peer support specialists and psych nurses in every community? What if we were as proactive in psychiatry as we are in primary care? Our patients deserve a better outcome than homelessness. #mentalhealth #pmhnp #MentalhealthMatters #nursing #psychnurses #MentalWellness #EndTheStigma

I know many of my colleagues will be wondering about this study that reports, “Nationwide, 23.1% of adults reported having a mental illness in the past year” with Utah reporting the highest percentage. So essentially, that means that people who are aware they have a mental illness, and are willing to report it, show up in these statistics. But what about people who are not willing to admit they have a mental illness or, are unaware that they have a mental illness due to the mental illness taking away their insight that they have a mental illness? Half of people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, due to their illness, suffer with lack of insight that they are sick. Maybe this is why most people are witnessing an unreported epidemic of untreated mental illness. We need to rely on far more than self reporting when it comes to documenting these sorts of statistics. https://lnkd.in/e3ZtNMYm

🚨🧠 Only around half the kids displaying symptoms of anxiety or depression are getting a clinical diagnosis for the disorders, and even fewer are able to access care, according to a new United Hospital Fund report that paints a picture of the youth mental health crisis in America. In 2021, only 39 percent of adolescents experiencing a major depressive episode (MDE) were actually able to access care for it. Meanwhile, only nine in every 20 teens displaying symptoms of anxiety and 10 in every 20 displaying symptoms of depression were able to get a clinical diagnosis for the disorders. These findings, gleaned from multiple surveys of kids in the US plus New York State and New York City, indicate a still-glaring youth mental health problem. 🌟 #MentalHealthMatters #YouthMentalHealth #BreakTheStigma #EndTheSilence #SupportEachOther #TakeAction #SpeakUp #Mindfulness #SelfCare #WellnessJourney #HealthIsWealth #CommunitySupport
