How would you behave during a medical emergency? Have you ever been in a position to find out? What kind of training have you had to deal with the pressure a situation like this would bring?
In this short episode, I draw parallels between medical emergencies and emotional ones, asking if this could help us reframe how we see suicidal episodes, also including points such as:
- How suicidal thoughts could be seen as equivalent to an emergency (e.g,- if you're in a traffic accident and make a 999 call)
- The specific type of stress that comes with the experience of suicidal episodes and how you may react to them
- How pre-existing mental health conditions may help us learn or manage our triggers, including warning signs that help us avoid emergencies
- Prevention is better than a cure, as it leads to greater understanding and acceptance
