Per @USAFacts adults aged 65/over make up 18.6% of the population of #Pennsylvania but @PAHealthDept data says this population accounted for 21.5% of all suicides in the state in 2020. Why no #suicideprevention in PA targeting older adults?

What's really pathological is assigning anything from the DSM-V to a bereaved person unless they truly have a psychiatric disorder of some type. They not only suffer a serious loss but unknowingly acquire a "history of mental illness" and the stigmatizing benefits coming with it.
I hate calling grief pathological (one year? 7% of mourners? Really? ), but if someone needs to talk or wants some medicine to help, it needs a diagnosis for insurance to pay. I usually just call it Adjustment Disorder....

Probably no segment of society has more #suicideloss survivors per capita than persons with serious #mentalillness. They get little support with that trauma or help with how it impedes their recovery. Please keep that in mind this Saturday.

Suicide is preventable. Hard times happen to all of us. Putting time and space between yourself, your firearm, and ammunition during brief, dark moments can save your life or someone you love. Learn how securing your guns can help prevent suicide at KeepItSecure.net

If you are dressing up this Halloween, don’t perpetuate the stigma of mental illness with costumes of “psychos” or “asylum patients”. Be mindful of the costume you pick because mental illness isn’t a costume.
