This week Dr. Burton and I discuss what drives people to feel so hopeless they want to die. We also talk about suicide statistics in other countries as well as the role socioeconomic status plays on suicidal ideation.

If you or someone you know is feeling suicidal please call or text 988 for the suicide hotline.
