In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Z, a licensed clinical psychologist, about chronic suicidality. Dr. Z first discusses the spectrum of suicidality, as well as the difference between passive and active suicidal thoughts. We discuss chronic suicidality vs. acute suicidality, as well as some interventions used to manage chronic suicidality. Dr. Z discusses what both clinicians and non-professionals can do to help someone who is experiencing chronic suicidality, as well as provides hope and encouragement for those who may be currently struggling.

Dr. Z and I have a very open conversation. If you are currently struggling with suicidal ideation or this topic is difficult for you, please skip this episode.
