APA Joins in Recognizing World Suicide Prevention Day


Perhaps one of the most devastating events that a psychiatrist can experience is a patient¡¯s suicide, but tragically, death by suicide is not uncommon. Every year, more than 800,000 people die from suicide throughout the world; this roughly corresponds to one death every 40 seconds. Suicide is the fifth-leading cause of death among those aged 30-49, and the second leading cause of death in the 15-29 age group.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, and this year¡¯s theme is ¡°Suicide Prevention: One World Connected.¡± It reflects the fact that connections are important at several levels to understand and combat suicide. Connectedness is crucial to individuals who may be vulnerable to suicide. Studies have shown that social isolation can increase the risk of suicide and, conversely, that having strong human bonds can be protective against it. And connectedness can also be understood in terms of clinical care. Mental illness, particularly depression, is an important risk factor for suicide. Internationally, treatments for mental illness have improved, but access to these treatments remains unequal.

¡°Suicide is complex and highly correlated with psychiatric illnesses,¡± APA President Paul Summergrad, M.D., told Psychiatric News. ¡°Expert evaluation and care are essential to save lives. APA vigorously supports research to better identify the risk factors and predictors associated with suicide and the most effective treatments. And we join our friends and colleagues around the world in calling for access to scientifically informed evidence-based psychiatric treatment for those at risk of suicide everywhere."

Here are some personal accounts and APA resources related to suicide:

Reflections
William L. Clapp, M.D., former president of the Minnesota Psychiatric Society, shares the tragedy of his brother¡¯s death by suicide and the urgent need to bring this difficult topic out of the shadows.

Never Let Your Colleagues Worry Alone
Lara Cox, M.D., APA¡¯s resident-fellow member trustee, urges psychiatry residents to reach out to colleagues who may be experiencing difficulty.

Preventing Patient Suicide
Robert I. Simon, M.D., author of Preventing Patient Suicide: Clinical Assessment and Management from American Psychiatric Publishing, writes that ¡°Know thy patient¡± is one of the keys to preventing patient suicide.

The Death of Robin Williams and Lessons for Psychiatry
Michael F. Myers, M.D., coauthor of Touched by Suicide: Hope and Healing After Loss from Gotham/Penguin Books, summarizes lessons that psychiatrists can learn from the untimely death of comedian and actor Robin Williams.

Psychiatry and Hope: Thoughts After Robin Williams¡¯ Death
Matt Goldenberg, D.O., a fourth-year resident at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Ariz., observes that if psychiatrists share their knowledge about mental disorders and their treatability, they will lift the veil of stigma and help prevent suffering and death.

Purple and Turquoise Ribbons
Jennifer Bremer, M.D., a private practitioner in Chicago, describes how a peaceful family weekend was shattered by witnessing a stranger¡¯s suicide and asks why there is no public conversation on suicide prevention.

APA Resources
APA¡¯s website offers links to resources on suicide prevention, including a link to the World Health Organization¡¯s 2014 report, ¡°Preventing Suicide: A Global Imperative.¡±
