Picture
Mark Goulston is a world renowned psychiatrist that specialized in suicide prevent, famously never losing a patient in 25+ years. On a recent What We Dont' Know Podcast, Mark explained the type of mindset of some folks are in when they are contemplating suicide.
Picture
"Part of my understanding and my observation about people becoming suicidal is when they feel. Well, I pulled despair and I break that into D.E.S.-P.A.I.R. and that means when they feel unpaired with a reason to live. And so when people feel hope-less, help-less, power-less, use-less, worth-less, it can all combine to be point-less. And also when people choose suicide, they're pairing with a way to relieve that pain."
