When More Suicides in US is Not Surprising ... America, we are in a sad state indeed. A CDC report published found that suicide rates increased 25% across the United States. And the report noted that America's suicide rates are at the highest level since World War II. Of note: adolescents are of particular concern, with increases in social media use, anxiety, depression, and self-inflicted injuries. We are in a lot of pain. There is a lot of adversity being experienced without forums to express and explore the issues that are causing the hurt and feelings of hopelessness. In health care, we have one last ‘closet’ to open which is mental health. We need to open this closet, reach in and advocate for the heightened awareness and treatment of those experiencing pain, trauma, stress, adversity and loneliness. Selected Excerpt: “For some health experts, the rise in suicide comes as no surprise...’this is unfortunately not a surprise,’” …see more

And some of us even experience, or know of family members who experience, delusions, paranoia and hearing voices. This is an area of medicine, politics and policy which is shamefully ‘behind.’ Just as we talk about high blood pressure and diabetes we need to be talking about how our ‘head’ is doing...I mean, can you have a normal day if your ‘head is not right?’ Selected Excerpt: "I truly believe that good mental health -- mental fitness -- is the key to powerful leadership, productive communities and a purpose-driven self," Harry said. …see more
